Las Macadamias

Finca Las Macadamias, with a rich history dating back to El
Injerto's founding in the 1890s, was once an integral part of our
legacy. Although it later separated for various reasons, it has
always been cultivated with the same passion, dedication, and
rigorous quality control that characterizes El Injerto.
Today, Las Macadamias flourishes as our experimental farm, a true
innovation laboratory. Located just south of El Injerto, in La
Libertad, Huehuetenango, this 12.4-hectare gem extends between 5000
and 5800 feet in altitude. Here, we explore and evaluate various
cutting-edge agricultural practices: from innovative pruning types
and fertilizers to advanced weed control methods and the
experimentation with new coffee varieties. Every success at Las
Macadamias becomes a practice we implement on a larger scale at El
Injerto.
Currently, most of the plantation houses a natural blend of the
esteemed Catuai and Bourbon varieties, with a small section at the
highest part dedicated exclusively to pure Bourbon. It is at Las
Macadamias where we cultivate the future of specialty coffee.
