Lot Pricing Information
Where Excellence in Coffee is Born.
High in the mountains of northern Chalatenango, at 2,100 meters
above sea level, lies a
hidden coffee gem nestled among clouds and pine forests.
El Portezuelo Estate, founded and managed by Don Rolando Huezo and
his family, has
achieved what many aspire to but few attain: ranking their coffee
among the finest in the
world.
The story of El Portezuelo is one of passion, hard work, and deep
respect for the land. Don
Rolando, a farmer at heart and a coffee grower by vocation,
inherited the property from his
parents. Together with his family, he made the decision to plant
coffee and pursue a dream.
Thanks to its privileged location, with fresh microclimates,
fertile soils, and unique
biodiversity; El Portezuelo cultivates exotic varieties like
Pacamara, which have captivated
international coffee tasters.
For two consecutive years, coffee from the estate earned third
place in El Salvador’s
prestigious Cup of Excellence competition an achievement that not
only elevated the name
of the Huezo family but also brought pride to Salvadoran coffee on
the global stage.
Each cup of El Portezuelo tells a story: the morning dew, the
skilled hands that select every
ripe cherry, the breeze whispering through the coffee trees, and
the unwavering commitment
of a family that has made coffee their way of life.
Today, El Portezuelo is more than just a coffee farm, it is a
symbol of pride for Chalatenango,
for El Salvador, and for all who believe that coffee can truly be
a work of art.
