El Injerto's Achievements

El Injerto is now one of the most famous farms in specialty coffee. Its name rose to global prominence at the 2002 Guatemala Cup of Excellence. Out of 33 winning farms, two of their coffees were nominated, and one immediately secured third place in its debut. This coffee, with its brilliance, floral notes, and rare flavor, continued to captivate people worldwide. In the 2008 COE, it finally achieved first place, and its price of $80.20 per pound set a new record for the highest transaction price in Guatemala COE at the time.

The first owner of this farm, Jesús Aguirre, started the farm in 1874. He began by cultivating sugarcane and tobacco leaves, then started growing coffee in 1900. Injerto is named after a fruit native to the area. Currently, the 3rd and 4th generations of the Aguirre family have been managing the farm since 1956, and it is renowned as truly one of the world's leading coffee farms.
