Himalaya Estate

Himalaya Estate is located in the renowned Santa Ana region, situated in the Apaneca mountain range at an altitude of 1500 meters. It is one of the few estates managed by Aida Batlle, primarily cultivating Bourbon varieties.

Coffee beans from this estate are washed at the El Divisadero processing plant in Ataco, under Mauricio Salaverria's management, then evenly dried using African raised beds with sun-drying and ventilation. Mauricio inherited his parents' and grandparents' business, growing up with coffee from childhood and focusing particularly on specialty coffee cultivation.
