Fortaleza is a Café de Palo, and it means: "strength." It refers to: 1) the strength and density of our coffee beans given the high elevations at which it is grown, and 2) the strength and resilience of the people that cultivate our coffees.
Each region in the world produces coffees as unique in flavor and aromas as the terroir, elevation, and climate in which they are cultivated. Fortaleza evokes the strength, resilience and rich history of the origins of our coffees.
This coffee is from El mozote, the ground site where one of the bloodiest masaccers in the history of Latinamerica ocurred during the civil war in December of 1981. Coffees from this region exude a full bodied character with delicate acidity notes, and an elegant fragrance reminiscent of dried wood, pine and oak trees abundant in this region. The coffees here absorb the tropical climate and abundant sunlight to produce intensely and delicately crafted fragant coffees.
