Finca Himalaya, like many farms in El Salvador, is primarily planted with Bourbon variety coffee, which is picked ripe, and dried on raised beds. The soil is mostly volcanic soft clay, and the area receives an annual rainfall of 2,500mm. The coffee is grown under traditional shade trees including pine, ciprus, and inga (a local tree whose pods are occasionally used medicinally).
