Having been neglected for years, but showing significant potential, the family decided to undergo a complete renovation program; not only replanting the </span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: Poppins; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-theme-font: major-fareast; color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">farm but</span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: Poppins; mso-fareast-font-family: Aptos; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;"> also redesigning it in the process. Now, about two-thirds of the way through renovation, La Esperanza has become a large variety garden. Having been divided into 18 separate </span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: Poppins; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-theme-font: major-fareast; color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">plots</span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: Poppins; mso-fareast-font-family: Aptos; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">, each growing a different variety; including Pacas, Red Bourbon, Bernardina, and Mokka, to name a few. Due to the steep gradient, unique micro-climate and biodiversity, and the Pacas family’s hard work, coffees from La Esperanza have placed in the Cup of Excellence competition three times, most recently in 202</span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: Poppins; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-theme-font: major-fareast; color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">5</span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: Poppins; mso-fareast-font-family: Aptos; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">. </span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: Poppins; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-theme-font: major-fareast; color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">The name Kenia is often used in El Salvador to describe a unique variety of unknown origin. Thought to be a natural mutation of the SL varieties from Kenya, it’s not widely grown but is gaining in popularity amongst producers and consumers alike. This naturally processed Kenia is big, loud, and juicy, with lots of purple fruit.</span></p> <p> </p>
