Divina Providencia

La Divina Providencia Farm was acquired nine years ago by fourth-generation coffee grower Roberto Ulloa, who transformed the farm from abandoned conditions into one of the most productive farms in the Palo de Campana microzone, located on the highest slope near the crater of Mount Santa Ana. The elevation of the plantation ranges from 1550 msnm (altitude) to 1830 mals. The plantation is rich in volcanic soil and high organic matter, which can provide special growth conditions, and combined with temperature and relative water content, the coffee produced is of unparalleled quality.

Tablon Bendicion 1. This part of the plantation has about 25 per cent Kenia Bourbon trees and 75 per cent Tipica Red Bourbon. Since the purchase of the La Divina Providencia plantation, replanting activities have mainly used the Kenyan bourbon variety. The Kenyan bourbon variety was introduced to the microzone by one of the most respected Salvadoran growers many years ago after a trip to Africa.

La Divina Providencia is managed under traditional practices, but organic inputs are also used as fertilizers, coffee trees are pruned through traditional observation methods, and nutrient tissue is managed through a multi-stem method, also known as Parra Sistem.
