The Árboles de Guajes farm takes its name from a native tree that grows in the area. It is commonly known as the blood tree, also considered sacred. Behind this farm and coffee are Hermenegildo Marin and his family. For him, coffee production began with his parents who taught him how to cultivate the land. Back then, it was the only source of income they had. When his parents passed away, he inherited the plot.

Today, Hermenegildo grows coffee alongside his family. His sons mainly supervise tasks such as pruning, planting, renovations, and shade management. He and his wife Aurelia Martinez take care after the harvest and drying stage. Two years ago, he started working with a quality-focused approach. Now, he is very motivated by knowing he can improve the plantation and constantly learning better processing practices.

Roasting Schedule:  All coffee is roasted to order on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
