La Ilusion is a small farm with around 10 hectares grown at about 1540 masl. It’s 100% traditional sweet Salvadorian Bourbon and the farm is constantly adapting to their crop yield and processing their coffee to suit the crop. This involves using different fermentation and drying techniques to suit the potential of the lot. The coffee cherry is mechanically demucilaged before it is soaked under clean water over night and then carefully dried on their patio. They manage the drying times by building up layers and resting the coffees in piles so that drying can occur at a constant rate.
