Himalaya Estate Introduction

Himalaya Estate is located in the Ataco region of western El Salvador at an altitude of 1,500 meters. The Mauricio family, which owns this estate, began growing coffee as early as 1875 and successfully won three Cup of Excellence awards in 2015, one of which was for the production from Himalaya Estate. Mauricio's full dedication to the coffee industry was influenced by his parents and grandparents, who were committed to growing specialty coffee beans in western El Salvador.
