Finca El Manzano was founded in 1872 and has been in the López Díaz family for seven generations. Emilio López Díaz expanded El Manzano in 2005 with the construction of a processing mill, allowing him to control every step of production, and also began to plant exotic varieties not traditionally found in El Salvador, including SL34 and Geisha.

Because of these improvements, Emilio's Geisha was able to win both 1st and 2nd place in the 2018 Cup of Excellence competition, something that had never been done before! First found in El Salvador due to a natural crossing between the Pacas and Maragogipe varieties, Pacamara is prized for its big cherries, exceptional cup quality, and complex flavor profile. Emilio's honey processed Pacamara has a bright and complex acidity.
