Santa Rita yellow bourbon is a boutique coffee. For JASAL it is a really important brand because of its uniqueness. This brand is one of the most prestigious coffees the JASAL group offers since the amount of care put to each tree is unique. The JASAL group puts special attention through the whole processing of this coffee in order to assure the traceability of the product and at the same time really monitor and offer an excellent cup. What we love is the interaction with the Santa Rita community which is directly in charge on managing this plantation This community is really tied into the brand and plays really important role such as the manual design and painting of the bags. Therefore as a group we are really honoured to produce and process such coffees not just because of their outstanding quality but also because tied to this brand there is a group of families that put a lot of passion and love towards the whole processing of this coffee.
JASAL is a family owned business with more than 100 years of experience in cultivating, processing and exporting one of the finest coffees in El Salvador. The group of estates are concentrated in one of the best regions in El Salvador for coffee cultivation: the Apaneca-Ilamatepec region.
