Finca El Carmen is located in Central America's prime specialty coffee producing area, the Apaneca-Illamatepec mountain range. The estate has been farmed by the Alfaro family for over a century.
El Carmen has expanded into tourism services in recent years, offering coffee tours and overnight accommodation in the farm’s original family home. An institution in the area, it has become a proud symbol of Ataco village.
El Carmen is an extremely well-run specialty estate and is managed with scrupulous attention detail, with great emphasis placed on maintaining the identity of each lot from the moment its coffee cherries are harvested until the point when the green beans are ready for export.
