After a trip to El Salvador (Central American country), Amélie and Enzo decided to start a family business to import quality coffee from Latin America.</p>
<p> </p>

<p> </p>
<p>But why a 25 year old couple decided to invest themselves in such a big project?</p>
<p>Enzo is a member of the 5th generation of micro-batch producers of coffee in El Salvador. No Argueta having had the opportunity for the moment to export coffee to Europe; Enzo, with the help of his darling, embarks on this very exciting project.</p>

<p><br />
Coffee that tell an ancestral story, ancient Mayan lands, will soon be presented to the French, under the brand De La Sierra Café. Amélie and Enzo import coffees from a farm located at 1,400 meters above sea level, from a micro-production of his family, with first priority, respect for workers, and fair trade.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Thanks to this project, they will have the opportunity to work directly with several micro-producers of exceptional coffees, unknown to this day, their production being sold to multinationals, which mix it with other coffees.</p>
<p>After several months of discussion, they returned to El Salvador, to have a training of roasting, barista and tasting, within the El Salvador Coffee Council, and specialize on the profiles and aromas of the coffee of the smallest country in central America.</p>

<p> </p>
<p><br />
Our project is to create a specialized roasting! The goal is to roast at the request of each customer (we learn about the different preferences that the customer appreciates the most) and respecting a specific grind to their mode of extraction.</p>
<p>We push the respect of work done upstream, by storing our exceptional grains in ideal conditions respecting all standards.</p>

As we do not want to deprive you to taste the real flavors of coffee exceptions, we planned to go around France from March 2019 to make you discover them !!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Do not hesitate to give us a boost, the smallest actions can have great repercussions :) !!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And it is thanks to your cooperation that we will be able to respect the upstream work of producers and workers. We would like to create a storage room that meets all standards:</p>
<p>- Room with constant temperature (4000 euros)</p>
<p>- Humidity rate of the controlled room (3500 euros)</p>
<p>- Each bag of coffee, should be 55 cm from the floor and walls, and be placed on racks, for optimal ventilation (2500 euros)</p>
<p> </p>
<p><br />
The grains arrive soon, help us to welcome them in the best possible way!</p>
