Benjamin Garcia runs El Montecino with his wife and three sons, continuing a family agricultural tradition in San Ignacio.

This release documents a precise producer, farm, cultivar, altitude and fermentation window in one of El Salvador's best-known Pacamara regions.
WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?
Confirmed Benjamin Garcia, El Montecino, San Ignacio, Chalatenango and the existing farm and producer relationships.
Preserved the January–March harvest window and 22–48-hour fermentation without inventing drying details.
Added Verve's exact Dwell, AeroPress and French-press recipes.
Replaced the generic Specialty label with Not specified because Verve publishes no formal grade.
Four editorial sections, exact brew recipes, explicit drying limitation, refreshed availability and source review.
No harvest year, drying surface or duration, formal grade, roast date or public sentiment score was inferred.
The profile now separates a well-documented farm and fermentation story from the production details the archive does not disclose.
Verve reports tangerine, lemongrass and raw sugar; these are roaster-provided notes, not our tasting results.

In the database. Not tasted. Not scored.
This coffee is in our database because we can reliably document it — but we haven't tasted and scored it yet, and we never publish a score we haven't earned.
Outside reviews and internet discussion — is kept clearly separate from our own review. When we taste it, our full review appears here.
