□Finca El Injertal is a family owned and operated estate located near the small town of La Democracia in the mountains of Huehuetenango, in the northwest region of Guatemala. Founded by Jose Olivio Chavez in the 1930's, the farm has been producing high quality coffees for three generations and is operated today by Jose Olivio's grandson, Jose Alejandro. The 205 acre farm has 173 acres in coffee productionwhile the remaining 32 acres are kept as a forest preserve where native species of trees provide refuge for wildlife in the area. The farm contains several natural springs that provide an adequate wate supply during the dry season and are used as a source of energy to run the coffee processing mill. Certified by the Rainforest Alliance, the coffee plantation is completedly coverd with shade trees, a source of abundant organic matter and an aid in soil erosion control, an important consideration due to the steep hillsides in this area. All of these circumstances - rich soil, adequate water, and high altitude - result in a unique miroclimate well suited for the production of high quality coffee.  The quality of El Injertal's coffee was first recognized in the first Guatemala Cup of Excellence Auction of Guatemalan coffees and is still recognized today as a farm of distinction.

□編註:瓜地馬拉薇薇特南果產區在市場上有兩個名字非常接近的莊園, El Injertal(中文通常譯成「茵傑特莊園」),另一個是El Injerto(中文通常譯成「茵赫特莊園」),這是兩個完全獨立,完全不同的莊園.常常看到有些玩家,甚至有些還蠻有知名度的店家把兩者混為一談…
