Tasting Notes
Plum wine, Dark cocoa, Brazil nut
A naturally processed treasure from the mountains of El Salvador.
From volcanic soil, slow-ripened cherries, and a rare hybrid varietal…comes a coffee that doesn’t just wake you up—it pulls you in.
Natural Processed Coffee
Unlike most coffees, this new Cedar Gold is naturally processed.
That means the coffee cherry is left intact while drying under the sun—sometimes for weeks.
During that time: Sugars from the fruit seep into the bean. Flavors intensify and evolve, and the body becomes richer, heavier, more textured
It’s a slower, riskier process.
But when done right… it creates something unforgettable.
🌱 The Varietal: Built for the Future
Cedar Gold features the Centroamericano (H1) hybrid—a rare and intentional cross between:
1. Sarchimor — known for durability and structure
2. Rume Sudan — an Ethiopian heirloom celebrated for wild, complex aromatics
The result is a compact, resilient plant that produces a cup with depth, elegance, and unexpected character.
This isn’t commodity coffee.
This is coffee by design.

Origin Story
High in the mountains of Concepción de Ataco, Ahuachapán, coffee grows differently.
Cool air drifts through the hills.
Volcanic soil feeds the roots.
And time… slows everything down.
At Finca San Luis, producer Luis Duarte carries on generations of Salvadoran coffee tradition—while embracing the future of what coffee can become.
This is where Cedar Gold begins.
