This nanolot represents the exceptional work of Carlos Pola from Finca Las Brisas in the Apaneca-Ilamatepec mountains of El Salvador, a region celebrated for its rich volcanic soils and ideal altitude ranging from 1,200 to 2,030 m. A former textile entrepreneur turned coffee innovator, Pola combines data-driven precision with sustainable farming — using shade trees, symbiotic fungi, and reduced chemicals to nurture soil health. At his farms (Las Brisas and San Antonio), cherries are hand-picked and processed using natural, honey, or experimental anaerobic methods, all under meticulous quality control in his on-site lab. His focus on traceability, environmental care, and community education sets a new standard for specialty coffee in El Salvador. This nanolot captures the essence of his philosophy — innovation rooted in tradition, delivering a cup that expresses both terroir and craftsmanship.
