El Salvador Washed Bourbon SHG Special Preparation Finca España

Finca España is located near the Apaneca village, on a picturesque and cold hill with a magnificent view on the Cerro de Apaneca and Laguna Verde.
Doña Eleonora Lemus de Diaz Nuila “doña Nora” inherited Finca España from her grandfather don Rodrigo Herrera “papa Higo”, a descendant of a long-tradition of Salvadoran coffee producers. Doña Nora is the fourth generation of a family dedicated to the enhancement of coffee from the Apaneca-Ahuachapan region.
To improve the efficiency and the eco-sustainability of the production process, doña Nora implemented a farm renovation and rehabilitation program over the last few years, by replacing the old trees with new Bourbon and Pacas varieties. The Bourbon is a natural mutation of the Typica, one of the earliest and most important coffee varieties, while Pacas is a natural mutation of the Bourbon, discovered by don Fernando Alberto Pacas Figueroa in El Salvador in 1949.
Doña Nora empathize exclusively on high-profiles coffees, as she believes that this is the way to make a finca successful in the economic worldwide scenario.
The highest elevation, the special microclimate and the volcanic soil are the main features that characterizes the aroma and cup profile of the gourmet coffees produced by this finca.

Honduras Black Honey Micro Lot Special Preparation Finca Caja De Aguas

Located in the west of the country, the cordillera de Celaque hosts the tallest peak in Honduras, and one of the most extensive and preserved rainforests in the country. Undoubtedly, the mountain whose name in the extinct Honduran Lenca language meant “caja de aguas” (Spanish: water box) is one of the most important corners of Honduras, not simply for the most impressive panoramas of all Honduras, but especially for its rich biodiversity and high level of endemism.
This scenario is the location of Finca Caja de Aguas, a truly unique micro-estate: about 46 hectares surrounded by forest, refreshed by a natural water spring on its tallest hill that name the finca the way the old Mesoamerican tribes did.
As the local communities have always lived in symbiosis with their territory, so this coffee estate does: Finca Caja de Aguas emphasize the preservation of natural resources, the sustainability of its production process, the social responsibility for all the people involved in the production. It only uses biological and natural fertilizers from the local COCAFCAL – Cooperativa Cafetalera Capucas Limitada and supports a re-forestation program aiming to preserve the local eco-system, the biodiversity and water river protection.
Finca Caja de Aguas is involved in many social projects for the local community, such as the creation of a virtual library for children and young people, the development of policies and training courses on the child labor prevention, the creation of a youth soccer academy, the support to rural clinics for the financing of medical personnel and supplies, the creation of medical teams dedicated to the vaccinations in the most internal areas, and much more.
