Finca Los Angeles is a beautiful farm situated in the Ahuachapán
mountain range in the west of El Salvador.It is part of the Los Naranjos
group headed by Sigrid Corado, a retired professor of Agronomy from the
National School of Agriculture.

The farm is part of the Renacer Program; a technical coee field school and
educational program for local producers to learn about better farm management
practices. This farm is planted only with Pacamara & is broken into 23 Manzanas
each with around 3000 trees, with wind barriers & shade trees to protect them.

The coffee is selectively harvested & taken to the wet mill and drying beds at
Beneficio San Rafael which are located between the two hills of El Pilon
and Cerro Aguila at 1450 masl. During harvest, a football field becomes filled with
drying beds for all the coffees that come from the farms Los Angeles and Noruega.

Here the Pacamara is washed with water at 40 Celsius and then water at
12 Celsius. It is then floated before then being laid out on drying beds for between
25 - 30 days where it is moved every hour until ready.
