What is so special about this coffee?

SL-34 is a Kenyan coffee varietal brought to El Salvador by the Borgonovo family. It is part of the Bourbon-Typica family and grows best at elevations of 1,500 meters above sea level and higher, especially with good rainfall. The coffee is traditionally washed, which brings out its bright acidity and complex flavour profile. This variety is highly esteemed in the specialty coffee industry for its exceptional quality.

The varietal traces its origins to French Mission Bourbon, which was introduced to Kenya in the late 19th century. Developed by Scott Laboratories (SL) in the 1930s from a single coffee tree in Kabete, Kenya, SL-34 is renowned for its high quality and ability to flourish in high-altitude regions and resist disease and blight.

Nurturing the Next Generation

At the Dante Gourmet farm, the Borgonovo family supports local farmers' children by sponsoring four football teams in the Talnique community. These teams involve 48-50 children aged 8 to 14 who train and participate in local tournaments. In collaboration with Banco Agricola, the municipality, and parents, they built a roof over the stadium at the Talnique Educational Complex to facilitate sports and cultural activities. Additionally, they organized ping pong tournaments to develop teamwork, integration, and discipline.

The farm partnered with non-profit organizations to deliver 400 pairs of shoes to children from the Talnique Educational Complex and San Carlos Village School. This support for their local community not only improves living conditions but also contributes to the education of professionals who later give back to the community.
