Your perfect coffee for that slow sipping experience. At first sip, you’ll notice a mild citrus aroma followed by the mild sweetness of pear, all coated in a maple syrup body.

• Farmlevel Story

  Farmlevel

  Ramon Ochoa emigrated from El Salvador to Montreal in 1984. While living in Montreal, he worked in restaurants, took a training course as an industrial mechanic, and the school helped with a work placement in 1988, where he still works today. In 1994 Ramon received an inheritance from his father, and in 2012 decided to start a coffee farm. He chose the Pacamara variety to establish the Amor y Sabor farm.
  
  A very real reality of growing coffee is not only growing exceptional tasting coffee but having a way to bring it to market. In August 2017, when Alejandro Valiente returned from Nicaragua, all his neighboring producers and friends from Metapan had green coffee that they could not sell above C-Market prices. The main cause for this was a lack of access to the market and specialty buyers. The farmers and communities of the micro area of Lagunitas in Metapan El Salvador have had a lot of struggles, from inconsistent yields and devastation of coffee leaf rust to aggregators paying unsustainable prices. This changed monumentally when Alejandro Valiente and Ramon Ochoa started working together. The Amor y Sabor farm is the product of an operation managed remotely from Montreal by Ramón, Alejandro, and a small group of specialty coffee buyers who have been supporting Ramon’s first harvest in 2017/18. Ramon is hardworking and very connected with the countryside, the community, and nature. His farm ranges from 1450 to 2060meters and sits just on the Montecristo National Park edge.
