About: Divina Providencia holds a cherished place within the Silva family, a treasured heirloom passed down across generations. Eve, Rafael Sr.'s mother, took immense pride in the farm and made sure to walk the land each day. Located just a few miles from the city of Apaneca, where the Silva family call home, Divina Providencia has a unique micro-climate, receiving very little wind or direct sunlight and shrouded in a thick layer of fog for much of the afternoon. The farm's operations commence in the early morning to accommodate the diminished visibility later in the day. Yet, the enveloping coolness of the fog ensures a temperate climate and a gradual maturation of the coffee cherries. Anacafé-14, believed to have emerged as a natural mutation of Catimor and Pacamara, surfaced in the early 1980s. This variety boasts prolific yields and displays resilience against leaf rust disease, rendering it an optimal choice for Salvadorian coffee farmers combating the escalating prevalence of rust on their farms.
