El Injerto Estate - A World-Renowned Coffee Estate

There are over ten thousand coffee estates worldwide, ranging from those producing commercial coffee beans to high-quality estates and those cultivating rare varieties. Today, we'd like to introduce you to the prestigious top-tier coffee estate from Guatemala - El Injerto Estate.

Estate Introduction

El Injerto Estate is located on the famous Huehuetenango highlands in Guatemala. The Aguirre family has been growing coffee there since 1900. The estate name "Injerto" comes from a local fruit name. El Injerto Estate places special emphasis on ecological protection and organic cultivation techniques, implementing strict quality control to ensure the quality of green coffee beans. Through the Aguirre family's efforts, El Injerto Estate has earned Rainforest Alliance certification and has been a frequent winner in many international coffee competitions since 2002.

El Injerto Estate (also translated as Graft Estate) ranks among the top estates in Guatemala. If it claims to be second, probably no one would dare to claim first! It has won numerous world-class competition awards, leading to its current achievements. Last year, the estate owner further elevated their estate's status to new heights. Like Panama's famous Hacienda La Esmeralda, El Injerto Estate hosts global bidding events. Of course, the competition beans they offer are exceptionally remarkable. Notably, the first batch of "Mocha variety" in 2012 set a world record, fetching an astonishing price of "$500.5/pound USD," making it a truly deserved star estate!

For this competition, El Injerto Estate specially presented the "BEST El Injerto" series, carefully selecting small batches of exceptional quality and coffee varieties from within the estate. Experienced farmers meticulously select ripe coffee cherries, after which cuppers eliminate batches that don't meet quality standards. Under such strict selection criteria, Pacamara varieties from El Injerto Estate account for only about 8% of total production.

About the Pacamara Variety

These are all outstanding representatives of Pacamara, but they are all award-winning batches, making them very expensive.
