ABOUT THE COFFEE / REGION

“Chelazos” is a term affectionately used to describe the residents of Chalatenango, a mountainous region in northern El Salvador that borders Honduras. This area is known for its unique population—many people in this region have lighter skin tones with green or blue eyes, which are relatively uncommon in other parts of the country. These distinctive traits have earned them the nickname ‘Chelitos’, which inspired the name Los Chelazos.

The Los Chelazos coffee blend brings together beans from two key cantons: Citalá and La Palma. Both are nestled within the Montecristo Trifinio region, a tri-national protected area that spans parts of El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras. Recognized as a UNESCO biosphere reserve in 2011, this region is home to remarkable biodiversity and pristine natural landscapes.

Caravela began working closely with local coffee growers in this highland area back in 2012. To strengthen relationships and improve quality control, they established a buying station and cupping lab in La Palma in December 2015, creating a vital hub for collaboration and support.

        FAQ

        When will I receive my coffee?

        Our coffee is sent via Australia Post .
        Tracking services are provided and you will receive your tracking number once we dispatch your order.

        Parcel Post by AustPost normally takes under 6 business days and Express Post by AustPost normally under 3 business days.

        Upon receiving your order, we generally send your order out within two business days as we aim for you to have the freshest roast possible.

        We do have roast schedule's and some orders may be delayed waiting for those roast days - we will let you know if there's any lengthy delays.

        Please allow extra time over public holidays or during major holiday periods and weekends.

        Please note if you order later than Thursday, your order might not be able to arrive until Tuesday the following week.

        Please understand drivers are human, some errors can happen. When it happens, don't hesitate and contact us at hello@symmetrycoffeeroasters.com.au   or "Chat with us" from the website.

        Can I pickup my coffee?

        Yes, you are more than welcome.

        Sundays and Public Holidays access are closed


        Walk through "Little Things Cafe" you will find your order to the right as you enter the roastery gates on a black steel shelf with your name/# stickered on your parcel.

        Place your order, then give us some time to roast and pack for you (usually less than two business days).

        Once received ready for pickup notification, come in, check in, and say hi to either Matty or Po.

        Can you grind my coffee?

        Sorry, we sell whole beans only.

         
        The reason being is that pre-grinding freshly roasted coffee means that it affects the integrity of the coffee and this makes the coffee expire a lot faster. It's like having artisan bread being pre-sliced or a piece of fruit being left out in the sun!

        I have other questions

        Send us your queries from our website "chat with us" function, our roasters Matty & Po will get back to you as soon as possible, if they are not online, you will get an email response.
