Fernando Lima's El Corozo farm is located at an ideal altitude for coffee production, above 1900 masl. It is surrounded by two national parks, Los Andes and Los Volcanes, on the slopes of the Ilamatepec volcano, the highest in El Salvador. In 2006, the volcano erupted and completely destroyed the plantation. The ash from the volcano was deposited on the soil, giving it something very special, which is found in every coffee produced by Fernando Lima on this farm.
The main variety grown on the farm is Bourbon, but there are also Geisha and Pacamara plants. There is also some Caturra. This is perhaps Fernando Lima's favourite farm to work on, having seen it reborn and develop. The harvest is carried out in 3 stages, between January and April, to ensure that the coffee develops evenly and produces the best possible cups. And so it has been since 2018!
