EL SALVADOR GESHA ANAEROBIC NATURAL
Finca Ethiopia is a 34.5-hectare farm in El Salvador’s Apaneca region, revived in 2018 by Los Naranjos Coffee. Located behind the Ilamatepec Volcano at 1,400 masl, its volcanic soil and shaded environment create perfect conditions for exceptional microlots like this Gesha Anaerobic Natural. Fermented for 72 hours and dried slowly for up to 40 days, it embodies Los Naranjos’ precision and care yielding a clean, expressive cup that highlights both craft and conservation.

About the farm: Bed drying for natural anaerobic coffee has an average duration of 30-40 days. The coffees are stored once they have reached 10% humidity. Once they enter the warehouse, they are allowed to rest for 24 hours and the humidity is measured again to verify that it is maintained at 10%. This is to account for the climatic conditions of the mill. The dried cherry coffees are placed inside grain pro bags, in polypropylene bags, and sealed with a seam so they cannot be accidentally opened. For the anaerobic natural process, it is very important to have constant control of the pH to avoid overfermentation. The tanks and barrels are suitable for carrying out fermentation with greater control since they have degassers and drain valves. This allows us not only to measure the pH but also the development of sugars through a measurement of brix grains. Their anaerobic naturals are fermented in the tanks for 72 hours under constant monitoring until the pH levels reach 4.05 degrees. It is then moved to the drying area.
