Before, he had been selling roasted and ground coffee in the city of Loja. This was the beginning of its history in the world of specialty coffee.
In the contest "The Best of Loja" in 2018 he obtained first and second place and in 2019 he obtained second place. In the national event Taza Dora in 2019 it was within the top ten and in 2020 it obtained the second and fourth place.

Farm details
| Description: | 5 years ago it was just pasture for cattle. With the coffee planting, timber and fruit trees, bananas, among others, were also planted, creating a diversified production system. In addition, an irrigation system was installed and electricity was brought to the farm. Currently on the farm there is a diversity of flora and fauna that had been lost with the grasslands. With the nature-friendly practices that it develops in cultivation, the arrival of wild animals typical of the area is now observed, which on the farm find their refuge. |
