Coffee Calendar
Coffee is a diverse and seasonal as a product. Depending on where you are in the world the coffee cherry will grow and ripe very differently. We ensure quality and freshness in the cup by monitoring the complete process from greenhouse to farm and ultimately to the coffee mill where it will be processed.
Due to climate constrains the harvest is only done once a year. During the rest of the year we focus on working in the farm. This work is to ensure our soil, plants, and infrastructure are in optimal conditions to produce the best quality of coffee possible.
Because of the high altitude where the farms are located, coffees start ripping in December and continue its maturing process until March. The coffee beans are then hand-picked in multiple waves in order to assure optimum maturity.
About Us
K-Fe comes from a specialty coffee operation that dates back to the 1900’s.
Since 2009 Florence Mathies Hill, a fourth-generation grower manages the three farms that fall under K-FE and with her son Jaime Quiros who is responsible for the commercialization.
This operation is inspired by the vision and legacy left by her great -grand parent, James Hill a coffee industry leader producer and exporter who migrated from Manchester, England to El Salvador adopting El Salvador as his own. James Hill is to this day still considered a pioneer in bringing the Bourbon Arabica variety to El Salvador.
Since then, the Mathies-Hill-Family has been committed to producing only the best quality of un-roasted coffee beans making efforts to innovate and adapt with the times through our dedication hard work procedures. We have made it our mission to continuously improve best practices, quality in our processes, traceability, and innovation in order produce the best coffee possible with variables that are in our control.

Our Farms
Our Farms are located in Santa Ana, Apaneca- Ilamatepec Mountain range, an area meticulously chosen by our ancestor for its volcanic and fertile land as well for its diverse micro climates. This was one of the most important factors taken in consideration to establish his trade of the Arabiga coffee. This area is also known as the Golden Belt, above Lago de Coatepeque which makes for spectacular views. The three farms that make up K-FE consist of San Jose, San Jose La Cumbre and Finca El Angel ranging from 1350-1650 meters above sea level.
