ABOUT THIS COFFEE

Grown in El Salvador’s Apaneca Ilamatepec mountain range, La Cruz benefits from the volcanic soils and ideal growing conditions the region is renowned for.

Farmer Alfonso Escobar is no stranger to the Coffee Supreme menu. After years of growing coffee at Los Naranjitos, Alfonso saw an opportunity to take another farm under his wing in the same mountain range: La Cruz. Since then, he’s renewed the plantation with carefully selected varieties, building on the farm’s potential and delivering seriously good coffee.

Roasted for filter, La Cruz leads with juicy redcurrant and plenty of natural sweetness. Bright, clean and fruit-forward from the first sip. As it cools, hazelnut and dark chocolate come through, adding warmth and balance to the finish.
