140 Years Perfecting the Art of Coffee Growing
We are a family owned business, originally from El Salvador, who now live in Richmond, BC. We are very grateful to our new home in Canada and equally proud of our Salvadorean roots. Coffee has been an integral part of our family’s history. The Llach family has been growing coffee since 1860, started by Cristina’s great-great grandfather, Francisco Las Plasas.
Las Plasas came to El Salvador from the city of Olot, Catalonia, Spain. He began growing coffee in Santiago de María, Usulután. This coffee region, known as TECAPA CHINAMECA, is now recognized as one of the best coffee producers.
Specialty Beans, our heritage and pride, is the result of more than 140 years of coffee growing knowledge and expertise that has been transferred from generation to generation. Since 1984, Cristina's mother, Doña María Cristina Llach, has dedicated her life’s work to growing and improving the quality of our beloved beans.

Doña María Cristina Llach
Doña Cristina’s tenacity and hard work throughout the years have empowered her to overcome the greatest of obstacles. Despite political turmoil, a civil war, natural disasters and a men driven industry, she has been able to keep producing one of the
best quality beans in the region.
All this knowledge & legacy has encouraged us to develop best roasting practices here in BC. We are now equally proud to introduce our direct trade locally roasted beans as
CLOCKWORK LEGACY COFFEE.
We hope you enjoy this experience as much as we do.
From our farm to your cup
