Tesoros Del Pais: Elevating Coffee Dreams from Prison to Global Entrepreneurship
Indulge in the perfect cup of freshly brewed coffee that awakens your senses and starts your day on a flavorful note. Tesoros Del Pais, a collaboration between Eric and the Real Talk Youth Impact Program, brings you a single-origin, high-altitude coffee from the Ahuachapán region of El Salvador.
This light roast, whole bean coffee boasts a bright, complex flavor profile with notes of stone fruit and a light peach acidity. The higher altitude of the beans' growth results in a denser nutrient and chemical composition, resulting in a truly exceptional taste.
The coffee's journey is as remarkable as its flavor. Eric, the co-founder of Tesoros Del Pais, faced a challenging path. In 2005, he was sentenced to federal prison for money laundering, given a lengthy sentence for not cooperating. However, during his incarceration, Eric began dreaming of a different future, envisioning himself as a successful global entrepreneur.
After his release, Eric faced numerous hardships, from homelessness to working multiple jobs, as he rebuilt his life. Undeterred, he joined a youth program to help guide kids away from the path he had taken. In 2020, despite pandemic setbacks, Eric started a specialized food distribution business and reconnected with his former inmate, Robert, to venture into coffee exportation in El Salvador.
The journey was challenging and costly, but with the support of industry experts like master roaster Jon Sanders and the Tesoros Del Pais team, they overcame the obstacles. Now, they are proud to share their exceptional coffee with the world.
A portion of all proceeds from the sale of Tesoros Del Pais coffee goes to support the Real Talk Youth Impact Program in Las Vegas, Nevada. This program, founded in 2012 by Sheree Corniel, aims to empower future community leaders through business education in challenging environments.
The unique climate, tropical and humid yet with high altitude and rich volcanic soil, makes the El Salvador region an ideal location for exceptional coffee cultivation. Tesoros Del Pais' single-origin coffee is a testament to this, scoring an impressive 86 on the cupping scale, well above the 60 score typical of regular store-bought blends.
By supporting Tesoros Del Pais, you are not only enjoying a delightful cup of coffee but also contributing to the empowerment of youth and the redemption of lives. Join us in this extraordinary journey from prison to global coffee dreams.
