History: This coffee region was planted aporoximately 25 years ago by Arturo Aguirre Sr. He brought himself the seed from El Salvador. It is interesting that many years ago no one liked this coffee, it was very rare and buyers didn't like its exotic flavor at the time. It was difficult for Aguirre Sr. to sell it; sometimes at a discount price and other times he had to sell some bourbon in order for the buyer to accept the Pacamara. Times have changes for sure!
This is the only most awarded coffee of the COE program, winning 7 times 1st place. Also this year is in the top of the list for the first Blockchain Auction scoring #auctionlevel as always. This champion wont let you down.
Reserva del Comendador is the 1st picking of this Region and its the favorite of Aguirre Sr.
Process: Peak: Performance Process (P3). We call this to our exahustive process of hand sorting, separation and selection of the coffee beans through out the washed and dry mill. Also

Producer Story:
Jesús Aguirre Panamá was the first owner of this
farm, which he acquired during the year 1874. He started planting
sugarcane to produce crystallized sugar known as
“panela” (brown sugar loaf), corn, beans, and tobacco.
Around 1900 he started the planting and production of COFFEE, and
called the farm EL INJERTO, as ‘injerto’ is the name of
a fruit native to the area.
Today the farm is managed by the third and fourth generation of the
Aguirre family, who has worked the farm since 1956, when production
was approximately three hundred (300) bags of parchment coffee. Now
they work with a great team and with the same mission, to produce
specialty coffee; maintaining agricultural practices friendly to
the environment and focusing in entrepreneurial social
responsibility to achieve a new farm management manner,
economically viable for all parties involved.
After all this years they have specialized in producing high
quality coffee. To be able to do this they have invested a lot in
investigation, technology and education.
Located in the Highlands of Huehuetenango close to the famous
Sierra de los Cuchumatanes the farm plantations goes from 1500masl
(meters above sea level) all the way to 1920masl where the most
delicate and exotic varieties are planted. El Injerto has mineral
rich, non-volcanic soil, an average precipitation of 1600mm and
temperature of 22ºC resulting in some of the best
microclimates to produce Specialty Coffee.
El Injerto transmits with its coffees the most honest expression of
its terroir characterized by the climate and soil attributes of
location. Respect and learning of the place of origin of our
varieties are the premises that direct the processes of our
coffees.
The entire plantation is under shade using different tree varieties
(Inga spp.; Gravillea robusta and Macadamia integrifolia) and
canopies.
