Coffees grown at the Encanto farm benefit from being cultivated in plenty of shade from the sun. In fact around 45% of the coffee growing area lies in the shade of red Guava trees, or ‘Monkey-Tail’ plants, and coral trees. This allows for slower maturation of the coffee’s natural sugars which raises levels of sweetness and acidity.

Employees from El Encanto usually come from the nearby community of Los Placeres and so share many social benefits such as free preschool facilities for their families as well as health care. The people of this area are very mindful of protecting and maintaining their local environment so they always ensure that more trees are planted than cut down.

Encanto

We are coffee roasters and hospitality experts.

As a specialty coffee company, we get to build friendships with a huge variety of interesting and talented people all around the world who are embarking on new adventures every day. From coffee lovers to coffee shop owners and coffee farmers, we get to connect these people and it is such a humbling and inspiring privilege.

Since starting out in 1998, we have invested in our product, people and community. Back then we were just three passionate people roasting coffee out of a small shop in a provincial New Zealand surf town. Today, the only real difference is we have a lot more friends around the globe to learn things from and to share our coffee and hospitality with.
