Establishment
In 1924, Amalia de Quintanilla bought 56 hectares of land at an altitude of around 1,500m in the Cacahuatique mountains in El Salvador and named it "La Buena Esperanza". The plantation has the rarest clay soils with a high iron content. It is shaded by a wide variety of endemic shade trees, including many avocados, citrus fruits and other crops. This special soil condition and the allelopathic factors give the coffees from this farm a unique character.
