Guatemala Inchert Estate Coffee Introduction Inchert Estate Legend Geisha Washed Coffee Bean Wind

Eincht Manor (Finca EL Injerto)

Finca EL Injerto Manor, a legendary estate founded in 1874, originally grew corn, tobacco, beans and sugar cane. Coffee was not grown until 1990, and the estate was officially named "El Injerto" after a local fruit called "Injerto" was found in the area.

The manor is located in the stunning coffee producing area of Vivette Nango, with steep sharp-toothed peaks and narrow valleys, receiving warm wind from the nearby Mexican lowland valley, and the hot air warms the hillside, making it possible for coffee to grow at such a high altitude, which is usually impossible at such northern latitudes.

Eincht Manor has quickly become a world legend for its coffee quality, winning a total of 27 awards in the Cup Of Excellence competition in 15 years, far more than any other estate in the world, and the only one in the world to win the first place in C.O.E eight times.

Every year the Aguirre family continues to improve the production quality of their estate. They pay attention to all the details of the whole process, including coffee fruit floating, fermentation, soaking, drying, proper storage, and their own drying plant.

Eincht Manor has always been the pioneer of fine coffee in Central America. About 50 years ago, it was one of the first estates to focus on a single variety and vertically integrated production of high-quality coffee.

Eincht Manor has a total area of 447 hectares, with 245 hectares for coffee cultivation, most of which are located between 1500 and 2000 meters above sea level, growing coffee, fruit, basic grain crops, and ornamental planting. The remaining hectares are conserved as a thousand-year-old primeval forest, which gives the manor a special temperature and suitable conditions for access to dry water directly from the mountain springs.

In addition, it constitutes a perfect habitat for wildlife, with the intention that coffee is planted in an ecosystem that protects our natural environment. The forest area is surrounded by coffee plantations, which have annual rainfall of about 1800-2000 centimeters and a relative humidity of 75 percent. The soil is a deep volcanic soil with good drainage and rich in organic matter.

El Injerto is definitely a genuine 100-year-old manor. After three generations, the estate now has 245 hectares of land for coffee cultivation, 70% for Bourbon, and the remaining 30% for different varieties, such as Catuai, Maragogype, Pacamara,Tekisic, Mocca and Gesha.

The estate is currently managed by the third and fourth generation heads of the Aguirre family, who have focused their business on the production, processing and sale of high-quality coffee locally and internationally.

The tenacity, energy, foresight and enthusiasm for work (and, of course, coffee) of the current management make El Injerto synonymous with quality, efficiency and sustainability around the world. Family tradition and commitment to excellence enable El Injerto to constantly seek the best quality control, production process, and give priority to environmental protection and the quality of life of all employees.
