El Salvador El Mural

Chalatenango is a region of artisans, painters, and artists. The picturesque town of La Palma is blessed with breathtaking landscapes and a perfect climate. Most beautifully of all, this place is famous for its murals painted in many colors, just like the handcrafted items created in this region. The artisans in La Palma create crafts and paint them in bright colors that are part of the decoration of this beautiful small town. They work with various fabrics worn by the people of this special place.

El Mural is a blend of coffees from two main cantons: Citalá and La Palma. Both of these are part of the Montecristo Trifinio, a tri-border national park shared between El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras. Designated as a biosphere reserve in 2011, it is an area of incredibly rich biodiversity. Caravela started developing relationships with producers in this area in 2012, and opened a buying station and cupping lab in La Palma in December 2015 for better interaction with the producers. They produce coffees with medium acidity and notes of sweet caramel, red fruit, orange, and vanilla.
