About our producers

Herminio Lopez Mazariegos has been immersed in coffee from a young age, learning from his father in the fields. Around 20 years ago he inherited the land, eager to continue his father’s legacy and provide for his family. He has expressed that even at 57, he is excited to continue learning about new processes. Herminio commits himself to teaching the younger generation - a crucial step for the future of coffee production as across many origins, as currently only 5% of the worlds coffee producers are under the age of 35.

While he shares his experiences, Herminio feels that he also learns from the youth. There is a prevalent sense of pride to be working with his family and he feels excited about the idea of generating work in the community.
