The Legacy of Salacsac Pass
Grown in the high-altitude rainforest of Salacsac Pass, this coffee draws from soil shaped by one of the most grueling chapters of World War II. During the 1945 campaign to liberate Northern Luzon, this pass was the site of a brutal, months-long stalemate.
The battle had a real human cost, with some records having it claiming the lives of nearly 13,000 soldiers. The soil here was literally saturated with the blood of those who fought for this gateway to the Cagayan Valley. Today, the pass’s unique biodiversity is inextricably linked to this history. Biomaterial that came from distant continents have found their way into this little area of land. The lush vegetation and now extra-nutrient-dense earth have reclaimed the trenches, creating a terroir that is as unique as it is vibrant.
The Luwak Inoculation Process allows us to capture this complex, storied essence with incredible clarity. By using targeted organic microbes rather than the broad, stripping effects of traditional processing, we ensure the distinct mineral and floral notes of the Salacsac rainforest are preserved, not lost. The result is our most prized coffee and most successful experimental fermentation coffee.
