La Cumbre (above) is the highest section of Finca El Manzano where Emilio's best coffees are found. Founded in 1872, Finca El Manzano has remained under the management of the Lopez Diaz family for an impressive span of seven generations. In 2005, Emilio Lopez Diaz undertook the expansion of El Manzano by building a processing plant, thereby precisely controlling every aspect of production. This visionary move also witnessed the introduction of unconventional varieties such as SL-34 and Geisha, previously absent from El Salvador's coffee landscape.
As a testament to these enhancements, Emilio's Geisha won both first and second place in the 2018 Cup of Excellence competition, an unprecedented feat. Emilio and his team are meticulous in their efforts at Beneficio El Manzano. But their commitment extends beyond their own operation; they are equally dedicated to improving the quality and productivity of their fellow producers within the region.
Starting in early 2021, Emilio and his team launched the Grow Together Social Program. This pioneering initiative involves providing education and technical guidance to local producers to strengthen their expertise and practices. Additionally, the program ensures that the critical medical and educational requirements of the community are adequately addressed.
