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 it is cultivated. In higher altitudes and cooler climates, for example, the coffee cherry ripens slowly, allowing the bean to develop more complex and pronounced characteristics, becoming more dense, aromatic, fragrant, round body, and of well-balanced acidity. The coffee bean is denser and stronger the higher the elevation at which it is cultivated.
Fortaleza evokes the strength, resilience and rich history of the origins of our coffees. For example, this coffee was produced in Honduras and processed in El Salvador, reflecting the duo nationality that the producers posses given the disputed territory between Honduras and El Salvador. The people in these regions still struggle to access basic services such as health and education by either state and live in a state of limbo where neither state invests properly in their development. This coffee is a symbol of unity between the two countries in our quest to offer coffee of the finest quality. Honduras has the most organized coffee sector, while El Salvador posseses the most fertile volcanic soil in the region.
