OUR COFFEE GROWERS
ABOUT OUR COFFEE GROWERS
Our people are small-scale growers owning two hectares or less. Much of this land on hilly terrains, with no road connection sometimes. For them, direct trading isn’t a luxury but a means of survival. It’s the only way to fend off price swings.
That’s why we pay our farmers 300% of what’s prescribed as “fair trade” and reinvest our profits back into our farms, freeing our growers to do what they do best: diligent and meticulous, quality organic growing.
OUR CLIMATE
The air gets pretty thin at 5,200 feet. This allows for coffee cherries to develop slowly.
This lengthy maturation in return makes our coffees less acidic and milder than their Central American cousins.
And the sweet undertones endemic to our cultivars don’t cover the delicate notes. Instead, they are a background tune to livelier nuances of jasmine, peach, and tropical fruit.

JAVIER FERNANDEZ
Javier and his brother Nahún own Finca Los Tanques, on which they have been working the land for over 15 years. Their attention to detail and passion for quality shine through in every cup.
The 2011 rust crisis that affected the coffee plants nationwide made no exception for Javier. After losing his harvest and plantation, he was forced to take out a loan from a banking institution to rebuild. He has since recovered from the rust crisis and is looking to invest in solar dryers and a system to evaluate coffee fermentation and drying processes.
