Drink a better cup.
Welcome to Haymarket Coffee Company
Haymarket Coffee Company has been on a quest for the perfect coffee bean to roast and we believe we have found it high up in the volcanic mountains of the lush, tropical jungles of El Salvador just outside of Ataco, Ahuachapan. Our coffee beans are proudly farmed by generational coffee producers descending from the Mayan, Pipil and Lenca people.
With an exclusive agreement with Café Gourmet Peñate Coffee Farm, Haymarket Coffee Company supports the development of medical and educational centers for the Salvadorians who work alongside us to bring you our great coffee.
Coffee Farm
The Peñate Coffee Farm has 48.5 acres producing registered gourmet beans from a variety of plants; Borbon, Pacamara, Pacas, Cuscatleco and Sampacho.
In addition to the variety of coffee plants, the farm is surrounded by fruit trees, oranges, lemons, bananas, cocoa, and mangoes that compost into the soil creating a tantalizing experience on your palette.
Climate
​
A large part of the bean's developmental success is due to the farm's proximity to the Pacific Ocean. The combination of the location and altitude generates an incredible microclimate that, in two words, is a fascinating paradise. The sea breeze in the morning off the Port of Acajutla creates a cool humidity allowing the bean to develop density to hold all the flavors from the fruit trees.
​
The temperature fluctuates up to 10ºF when the sun surrenders to clouds generated by the lower level humidity. Fog in the evening turns into rain joined by a breeze that goes from the morning through noon. Using photosynthesis, the sunlight is transformed into nutrients...a true paradise for coffee bean development.
​
The coffee farm is also a natural sanctuary for exotic and tropical birds due to the abundance of virgin areas, which are surrounded by majestic volcanoes and a temporary waterfall during the winter season.
