Painted Leopard: Bringing Specialty Coffee from El Salvador to the Bay

Painted Leopard tells the story of their origin in every cup. Through engaging in direct trade and ensuring fair pay for coffee growers, founders Claudia Campos and Daniel Ortiz work to support the small cooperative farms of their family’s hometown in El Salvador. At the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market, locals can taste specialty single-origin coffee brought straight from the Cacahuatique Mountains in El Salvador and roasted weekly in Oakland.
