22 - Las Rocas - Honduras 2024

I am a third-generation coffee producer. I grew up surrounded by coffee, accompanying my father in every step of the process, from harvest to wet processing and the drying of the coffee beans. However, as I grew older, I lost interest in coffee after witnessing my father lose his entire crop to coffee rust. I began to view coffee as something not worth the effort.

Later in life, while working, I learned about COE and Specialty coffee, reigniting my passion for coffee. Together with my brother, we decided to venture back into the coffee world. With the support of my wife, I persevered through all the challenges that come with owning a farm. She even purchased an additional 1.7 acres of land to expand our efforts.

I am grateful for the support of God, my brother, my wife, my children, and my friends, who have helped me learn and grow in the coffee industry. It all culminates in this great achievement
