Abanico Coffee: Blending Culture into Every Cup

Meet Ana Valle, the visionary behind Abanico Coffee and a cherished member of our Mission Merchants Association board!

Abanico, translating to a hand-held fan in Spanish, symbolizes more than just air circulation—it embodies the essence of our craft. Much like the artistry of a well-crafted abanico with its vibrant colors and delicate designs, Abanico Coffee brings you a selection of specialty coffees sourced globally, roasted in small batches, and curated with love.

For Ana, coffee isn't just a beverage; it's a lifelong passion rooted in family traditions and cultural ties to El Salvador. From savoring her abuelita's perfect cafecito to exploring coffee farms and becoming a certified Q grader, Ana's journey is a testament to her dedication to the art of coffee.

In creating Abanico Coffee Roasters, Ana wanted to share not just coffee but the rich cultural and family traditions that make each cup a cherished experience. Her commitment to quality and continuous learning is reflected in every roast, ensuring that each cup tells a story of love, heritage, and connection.

Join us in celebrating Ana Valle and Abanico Coffee, where every sip is a journey through the lenguaje del abanico—the language of the fan, expressing the rich tapestry of flavors and traditions in every delightful cup.
