We're excited to welcome back Elefante, from the Rodriguez family at Finca Nejapa in the community of Apaneca, El Salvador!

Elefante has quickly become one of our favorite coffees to source each year. Grown by the Rodriguez family in Apaneca, El Salvador, this unique variety—found only on their farm—was revealed by genetic testing to be a cross between Bourbon and heirloom Ethiopian varieties, planted by family decades prior.

Over the years, they've continued planting more Elefante and fine tuned their approach to growing and processing it. The coffee has placed multiple times in the annual Cup of Excellence competition in El Salvador, even placing 6th in 2023, where it was the highest scored washed process coffee in the country.

Gloria Rodriguez and her son-in-law, Luis, have been friends with our wholesale manager, Gunnhild for years. This relationship opened the door for us to buy this amazing coffee for the first time. It's been especially meaningful for her and a joy for the rest of our team to get to know the Rodriguez family and share their amazing coffees with our customers.

This coffee represents our second harvest buying Elefante from the Rodriguez family, and we've already made plans for it to return next year!

View all FAQs »

what is the difference between single origin coffee and coffee blends?

single origin coffee comes from a specific geographic region, or in 8th & Roast’s case, a farm or family of farms. this allows for a dialed-in flavor profile that carries the trademark of the area where the coffee was grown, with elements like climate, elevation, and soil as factors. blends are created when our roasters combine coffees of a different origin and/or process in a deliberate way, creating a unique flavor profile.

where do you roast your beans?

our roasting facility and training lab is located in the heart of nashville at 2637 grandview ave. while it is not open to the public on a daily basis, it is where we host our community classes.

what is common voice?

Common Voice is the sister brand of 8th & Roast Coffee Co. originally launched by good citizen coffee, it is now part of the 8th & Roast family when we acquired the brands. common voice provides more people with access to boutique coffee and enables farmers to sell more of their available crops year after year. the resulting blends are produced and processed to the same standards as all our coffees.
