Tecapa Chinameca’s mountains are renowned for their high-quality coffee, thanks to their proximity to the ocean, ideal elevation, and nutrient-rich volcanic soils.

Los Pirineos farm in El Salvador’s Usulután department, led by Diego Baraona, carries forward a rich coffee legacy spanning over 130 years.

Its unique microclimate of sunny days and cooling breezes, perfect for coffee production, processing, and drying, enabling the production of exceptionalhoney and natural coffees.

Los Pirineos maintains a coffee variety garden and nursery with approximately 70 different coffee varieties—a passion passed down from Diego’s father, Gilberto, that he plans to continue as he shapes the farm’s future.

The farm cultivates around 20 coffee varieties with Pacamara and Bourbon making up 80% of the farm’s volume.

This lot of Bourbon coffee underwent Black Honey processing.

After harvest, ripe cherries are pulped and the mucilage is left intact. Pulped coffee is then spread in a thin layer on shaded raised drying beds. The shade slows the drying process compared to the other Honey processes used on the farm. Coffee is dried for approximately 25 days until it reaches ideal humidity.

MEET THE ROASTER

Three Marks

Three Marks Coffee, located in the vibrant city of Barcelona, Spain, was founded in 2018. The coffee roastery and shop is named after its three co-founders: Marc Aguyé, overseeing store management; Marco Paccagnella, in charge of brand marketing; and Marco De Rebotti, responsible for all things coffee. Three Marks work to create a welcoming environment for customers from all walks of life. The co-founders believe in building friendly relationships and fostering a sense of joy and belonging within their coffee shop.

The trio behind Three Marks met in Nomad – a speciality coffee shop in Barcelona. Marc Aguyé was the manager, Marco De Rebotti was a roaster, and Marco Paccagnella was a customer of Nomad, who also rented a studio space above the cafeteria. Three Marks Coffee is the product of a chance encounter of the three.

Despite the initial coincidence of their collaboration, the three co-founders share a common passion for coffee. De Rebotti’s enduring love for the industry is evident in his continuous exploration of new cafes, varieties, and recipes.

Marco De Rebotti had dreams of opening his own coffee shop. In 2004 he relocated from Italy to London to work as a hair stylist on fashion shows. Not knowing anyone in London, he would spend his days in coffee shops, which was where he first took note of the nuances of coffee. He then relocated to Barcelona where he spent 3.5 years working as a coffee roaster at Nomad, and a brewer at another coffee shop.

Before the three of us started Three Marks, we promised to each other to make a special cafe. We wanted to achieve a high level in everything, not just the taste of coffee but also how we serve customers, how we present coffee and what music to play in the shop. Our ideal is for each of us to concentrate on our own strengths and perform our work to perfection.
— Marco De Rebotti, co-founder
