El Tanque

The farm is 15 hectares, and is owned by Fernando Felipe Alfaro Castaneda, who started ALFACOMER, S.A. de C.V., a coffee growing company, in 2019. His vision for the company was to enter into the international specialty coffee market with coffee from El Salvador. Fernando acquired Miramar from his father-in-law, Dr. Napoleón Diaz Nuila, in 2019, to begin producing exotic varietals to submit into competitions such as Cup of Excellence.

El Salvador
About El Salvador

El Salvador is the smallest of the Central American nations, but do not let its diminutive size fool you. It produces exceptional coffees to a consistently high standard.

The history of coffee in El Salvador is inextricably linked to the development of the nation, itself. Introduced in the late 1880’s, coffee quickly displaced indigo as the country’s chief export, and by the 1920s, coffee accounted for 90% of all El Salvador’s exports.

Despite its small size, the country is efficient and able to maintain high yields thanks to the dedication of producers and the ideal climates for coffee production.
