About this coffee

In El Salvador, producer Fernando Lima owns a number of farms, including Santa Elena, where this batch of Pacamara comes from.

Located between Los Andes and Los Volcanes national parks, the farm is ideally situated to produce excellent quality coffee, at an altitude of 1850 metres. The soil here is volcanic, rich in nutrients and even more so since the Ilamatepec volcano erupted, dumping its ashes on the farm's soil.

Fernando has equipped himself with his own wetmill to supervise every stage of production, right up to the washing. This is carried out after 5 sorting passes, to ensure that only the best cherries are produced.

The region Apaneca Ilamatepec

The Apaneca – Ilamatepec mountain range, located in western El Salvador, is one of the most important coffee-growing regions in the country. It accounts for approximately 60% of the country's coffee production, thanks to its fertile, volcanic soils and favorable climate for the development and production of specialty coffee. This region is home to approximately 78,000 hectares of coffee plantations, distributed across the departments of Ahuachapán, Sonsonate, and Santa Ana. Economically, this mountain range generates thousands of direct and indirect jobs, from nursery planting to the wet & dry processing to the final bean preparation.

The Apaneca – Ilamatepec mountain range is also home to a rich biodiversity, with cloud forests that protect endemic species of flora and fauna, in addition to recharging aquifers and mitigating climate change, serving as an important green lung and ecological corridor in the region.

A few words about Fernando Lima

Coffee is a passion that has been transmitted from father to son and daughter in the Lima family since 1870. Today, Fernando faces new challenges, such as climate change, which means adapting coffee growing while maintaining traditional varieties such as Bourbons. Fernando defines a good coffee producer as a manager who manages to make the constant improvement of his production, from seed to export, interact in a symbiotic way. He adds that it is necessary to keep an eye on new trends while having sufficient profits to invest in his farm.
