Adán Salas Gonzales,
Coffee Farmer
“To the people who are drinking our coffee, I would like to tell them that they are savouring an excellent coffee, free of any contamination, pure organic, and which takes a lot of work by the farmers to produce it. But it is done with a lot of love.”
Esteban Albores,

“I am the cupper at San Fernando. My job is to taste the coffee and ensure that it meets the high quality standards of our overseas clients.”
