We present La Alegría, a natural-processed Salvadoran coffee from the highlands of Metapán, Santa Ana, produced by Carlos Gustavo Hernández. La Alegría was founded with a clear vision: to apply decades of accumulated knowledge from the international specialty coffee market and elevate Salvadoran coffee through precision, innovation, and a deep respect for its origin.

This lot comes from the Anacafé 14 variety and is processed using the natural method. Ripe cherries are carefully handpicked, sorted, and dried whole under the sun. The intentionally slow drying process enhances sugar concentration, deepens fruit complexity, and brings out delicate floral tones.

The cup presents a balanced sweetness, expressive fruity and floral notes, and a bright, harmonious acidity, the result of meticulous processing and long-standing expertise in every step of production.

La Alegría earned 6th place in the El Salvador Cup of Excellence 2025 – Natural Category, scoring 88.27, affirming its place as an exceptional lot defined by craftsmanship, heritage, and precision.
