ABOUT THIS PRODUCT

Ayutepeque is the original Topeca farm where the Lopez-Diaz family tradition of growing coffee began. Established in 1850 by Santiago Diaz, Ayutepeque is a 65-hectare coffee farm situated at the base of the Santa Ana volcano. The volcanic soil provides the coffee trees with all the essential nutrients to grow strong and healthy. At Ayutepeque, we currently grow a number of different cultivars that are well suited to the environs of El Salvador, including Bourbon, Pacas, Pacamara, Acaia, and Marsellesa.

Ayutepeque has a slightly lower elevation compared to the coffees grown at El Manzano, resulting in a coffee that is typically less dense with lower levels of acidity, and rich, nutty flavors with heavy cocoa aromas. This is a perfect option for any coffee lover looking to try a solid specialty single-origin coffee from El Salvador.

Established in 1850, Ayutepeque is the farm that started it all. This light roast is a perfect entry point for anyone who is interested in trying a single-origin coffee from El Salvador. With notes of pecan, sweet maple syrup, and rich milk chocolate, this coffee is not only an ode to tradition, it’s Topeca’s namesake.

Their customer service is top notch!
I received a bag that was ground a bit too fine and contacted them, they responded within a few hours and already sent me another bag as well as a detailed explanation of what they did to correct the issue.
Will definitely be buying again.

Hi Rodrigo, I'm sorry you received too fine of a grind for your application. We'll happily send out a replacement for you. We do test grind settings using a variety of brew methods. For 'pourover' we use a V60 as standard reference. We'll also look into what may have cuases this error. Thank you for bringing it to our attention.

Ive tried most of topeca's coffees and I always come back to this specific one. It makes great espresso, particularly if you like milk drinks and dont like dark roast.

Wow, just wow! We used to get our coffee through lavazza subscription service but lately they didn’t have the lavazza oro (and that’s the only one we love in our house) so had to look for something new and am very happy that my coworker suggested their local coffee as this one tastes heavenly!!!! Smooth, light so so so good!

Ayutepeque Topeca Coffee Roaster has easily become my go-to coffee for my home brewing. This coffee is great as an espresso or any espresso drink or French press. The light-medium roast provides the best tasting nodes, bringing out a plethora of fruits and herbs unlike any other coffee I’ve had.

The Ayutepeque is excellent. It’s smooth, flavorful, and brews perfectly with my Chemex. If you are looking for a reliable, delicious El Salvadoran coffee, this is a great choice. I’ll definitely be picking this up again.

I have loved all the beans I’ve tried from Topeca, but so far this is my favorite! It’s a fantastic morning cup of coffee and makes great espresso as well.

This is my go-to blend year round although I do sometimes buy seasonal blends like porch session or sweater weather. Ayutepeque has a satisfying full bodied flavor that is not too bold but not demure either.
