About La Esperanza

Two decades ago, Rafael Alfonso Mateus assumed the management of the Farm La Esperanza, a property that has been a fundamental pillar in his family. Coming from the second generation of coffee producers, Rafael was introduced to the art of growing coffee from an early age by his parents. At that time, common varieties such as yellow bourbon and typical varieties dominated the cultivation.

Over the years, the farm has undergone a notable transformation, evolving into specialty coffee production. This strategic change has been key to the progress of the Mateus family. Rafael, with dedication and passion for specialty coffee, has managed to not only maintain the family tradition, but also provide educational opportunities for his children. Thanks to the thriving specialty coffee market, he has managed to have his children graduate from high school and one of them has even become a veterinarian.

La Esperanza is located in an exceptional area, surrounded by a picturesque mountain landscape that provides a warm and welcoming environment. The community, made up of friends and neighbors, shares a collaborative spirit where ideas and dreams intertwine in search of a better life for all. Rafael Alfonso Mateus, with his commitment and vision, has contributed not only to the flourishing of his farm, but also to the general well-being of the community that surrounds him.
