Coffee information

Efren is a young coffee producer who is carrying on a family tradition passed down from generation to generation. Born into a coffee-growing family, he learned the trade from his grandparents, whose knowledge and experience continue to influence his work today. After working alongside his family for many years, he began managing his own plot about ten years ago and has since devoted himself to producing high-quality coffees under his own name.

His goal is to create a distinctive product that reflects the full potential of his farm, while allowing him to increase his income, reinvest in his operation, and access new markets around the world. The year 2025 marks an important milestone for Efren, as it is his first coffee export through Semilla, our importing partner. It is a privilege to accompany him on this journey, and we are delighted to see his coffees being enjoyed far beyond the borders of Honduras.
