Alejo's family has been growing specialty coffee since the early 1900s, with a mission to improve quality while making a positive environmental impact. Their farm benefits from fertile volcanic soil and meticulous processing, producing award-winning coffees.
​
Terroir maintenance is key—Alejo tailors his approach based on land conditions, conducts soil analysis, and plants new varietals annually. He also protects rainforests, avoids pesticides, and cultivates honey and shade trees.
​
We’ve worked with Alejo’s coffees for many seasons and admire his dedication to quality and sustainability. His coffees are always exceptional in texture, and mysteriously delicious. This Caturra Natural is a trusty and quality cup with a delicate, easygoing profile.
