Nestled in the mountains between San Jose and Cartago in the famed Central Valley of Costa Rica.

Beneficio Las Lajas ranks as one of the most progressive, high-quality coffee mills in all of Costa Rica. Francisca Cubillo and Oscar Chacón are the third generation of coffee producers in Costa Rica and the first once to process their own coffee. Las Lajas is one of the few farms in Costa Rica growing Organic coffee. Las Lajas specializes in several different types of honey-processed coffees as well as natural process coffees.

Sabana Redonda, it is one of the higher elevation farms that Las Lajas owns. This one is located on the foothills of “Poás” volcano at an altitude of 1600 meters above the sea level. The farm is truly excellent for specialty coffee due to its cool climate conditions and the volcanic soil.

Las Lajas micromill has perfected the craft of producing exceptional coffees using either method. Their Natural coffee process: Perla Negra and Alma Negra, and their Honey process: Yellow Honey, Red Honey and Black Honey consistently win awards for clarity and flavor. Black Honey refers to a method by which 100 percent of the mucilage is left after de-pulping and the coffee is turned once per day while drying. This technique allows the fruit more time to penetrate the coffee’s parchment layer, imparting a very sweet and unique profile.

Gigesa Guji - Sidama - Ethiopia

Gigesa is a small town in the Danbi Uddo Kebele, not far from Shakiso in Ethiopia’s renowned Guji Zone. This area is home to over 500 smallholder coffee farmers, each cultivating 2 to 5 hectares of land at altitudes exceeding 1,800 meters above sea level. The Gigesa washing station, named after the town it serves, plays a vital role in collecting and processing the cherries from these farms. Owned and operated by the Yonis family, the washing station is a cornerstone of sustainable and high-quality coffee production, proudly holding both NOP and EU Organic certifications.

The journey of Gigesa coffee begins with freshly picked cherries delivered to the washing station. As part of a meticulous quality control process, the cherries are floated in water to separate any lower-quality fruit. The sorted cherries are then depulped using traditional disc pulpers, after which the pulped coffee rests in fermentation tanks for 36 to 48 hours, depending on weather conditions. During this critical phase, the mucilage is broken down and removed through a final washing in canals, leaving the coffee clean and ready for drying.

Gigesa is a small town in Ethiopia’s Guji Zone, where over 500 smallholder farmers cultivate coffee at high altitudes. The Gigesa washing station, owned by the Yonis family, processes these cherries and holds NOP and EU Organic certifications. In partnership with Testi Trading, led by Faysel Yonis, the station not only supports high-quality coffee production but also invests in local communities. Through Project Direct initiatives, Testi Trading has funded primary schools and the first-ever high school in Hamasho, showcasing a strong commitment to regional development.

Centenario - Edwin Martinez, Guatemala

Huehuetenango is the furthest north region in Guatemala, right next to Chiapas Mexico. It is also the most mountainous region in Central America. It is the most famous coffee growing region in Guatemala for good reason.

Don Felipe Martinez's journey began in 1957 when he started cultivating coffee in the remote highlands of Huehuetenango, Guatemala, facing challenges like limited access to infrastructure and markets. Over the years, his grandson Edwin Martinez developed a vision to connect smallholder farmers in Guatemala with quality-focused coffee roasters worldwide, leading to the creation of Onyx Coffee. Finca Vista Hermosa, the family farm, nestled in the picturesque landscape of Huehuetenango, serves as a symbol of their commitment to sustainable and ecologically sound farming practices. The farm boasts various micro-lots with elevations ranging from 1400 to over 1900 meters above sea level, producing high-quality Strictly Hard Bean (SHB) coffees. Furthermore, the Martinez family actively engages in community development, offering agronomist visits and healthcare support to neighboring farmers and indigenous communities. Their legacy of three generations embodies a dedication to coffee and the well-being of the region.

The heart of the greatest coffee producing region.

At 53 years old, Florencio might be the hardest working member of the diligent and much-revered Villatoro family. His lauded brothers include Aurelio Villatoro of COE winning Finca Villaure, Pedro Villatoro of the always sparkly Guayabales lots, Juan Villatoro of El Milagro and the eldest brother, Julian of the Los Olivos lots.

He started young, with a coffee nursery and small lot given by his father. He's been working earnestly since he was 13. At the age of 25 he was in a tragic car accident which damaged his leg, but he's continued working with support from his family: His wife Lesvia Marilú López and his 4 children, Maikel, Riner, Yelsin y Danita, and now his 5 grand children. Florencio has a great sense of humor, and like the rest of his family is kind and generous; a great host. He loves to watch soccer with the community, and spends a lot of time with his family.

This coffee project is centered in the village of Gaitania where Emmanuel Enciso is a coffee grower raised by coffee growing parents, who taught him everything about coffee. In 2006 he had the opportunity to learn much more about processes, quality, and varieties; managing to focus his farm and several producers in the micro region on producing specialty coffees. But he had a problem in common with so many other coffee growers, they did not have the capacity to produce large quantities, because they did not have a central coffee processing center for quality processes. That is why in 2016 he began with his family to create a coffee processing center that became a strategic bridge between more than 15 villages in Gaitania and now Emmanuel and his family are processing the coffees of coffee growers throughout the area.

Carolina Ramirez is one of Unblended's UVI stars. A lawyer, an endurance runner, AND an incredible specialty coffee farmer, she truly is an inspiring woman. The embodiment of the excitement we believe seeing young people working in coffee farms represents. Having studied law in Medellin, she decided to go back to Andes to live with her parents at their farm when the pandemic hit and fell in love with the specialty coffee world and its production chain. Nowadays, all of her coffees are designs made alongside her mother, and they both are in charge of selection and processing.

The Martinez family has always lived in the Xalapa-Coatepec area in the state of Veracruz. The farm was established by his great- great-grandfather Antonio Martinez. The dream of Alejandro is to revive the coffee culture in Coatepec. He started to plant rust-resistant varieties always separated by plot so that he can compare the results of each plot both in productivity and quality. His coffee has been resulting very well lately, Marsellesa and Mundo Maya represent high quality with consistency for some years, and his first harvests of Anacafe and Obata represented good as well with more unique characters.
