Description

Gildardo Contreras’s coffee journey started in childhood, helping his parents harvest coffee from 50 bourbon trees in their backyard. In 2012, he bought a farm from a relative and gradually expanded it to 54 acres. Today, his son Felipe manages the farm with a strong focus on quality, collaborating with neighbors to improve processing. They renovate 20% of the farm each year and plan to replace older bourbon trees at 1,800 masl with SL28, supported by irrigation. Once the coffee cherries are picked and sorted, they’re taken to the wet mill, where floaters are removed.
