The Producer<\/strong><\/p>\n

Luz \u00c1ngela Rojas grew up surrounded by coffee plants, immersed in the nature that witnessed her development,\u00a0while helping her father with every task the farm required. Her childhood and adolescence were spent amidst the\u00a0green landscape of the coffee fields, where she learned from a young age the value of hard work in the fields.<\/p>\n

During a time of coffee crisis, her parents, seeing how difficult it was to survive in this world, advised her not to\u00a0stay there. “Study, do something different,” they said. The idea was for her to go to university and follow a\u00a0different path, away from the challenges of the coffee sector. Moreover, being a woman in this world was not\u00a0easy, as the role of women on coffee farms was generally limited to household duties, looking after children, and\u00a0maintaining the home.<\/p>\n

With the decision to attend university, \u00c1ngela began her career in healthcare, where she became a head nurse.\u00a0However, as she advanced in her career and gained professional experience, something was calling her back to\u00a0her roots: coffee. Once she completed her studies, she began to realise that the coffee plant, just like humans,\u00a0requires care, attention, and a life cycle to thrive. At that moment, her connection to the farm deepened, and the\u00a0tranquillity of the countryside captivated her once again.<\/p>\n

It was then that \u00c1ngela began to reconsider her life. Coffee became part of her dreams, and she saw it not only\u00a0as a family tradition but as a project that could be reinvented. She decided that her life would not just be about\u00a0studying and working in the city, but about integrating her knowledge of health and management into the coffee\u00a0world. She specialised in audit management, discovering that the principles of administration she had learned\u00a0could be applied to any business, even to her family\u2019s coffee farm.<\/p>\n

Although her parents insisted she follow her professional career, \u00c1ngela worked for two years as a nurse and\u00a0then five years as an audit leader. However, the pandemic changed her course. Her administrative job allowed\u00a0her to work from anywhere, giving her the opportunity to return to the farm. It was there that she rediscovered\u00a0her purpose. She reconnected with life on the farm and decided to stay and work alongside her parents.<\/p>\n

Thus, the new project was born: a family dream that not only seeks to preserve the roots of coffee but to\u00a0transform, innovate, and make it unique. \u00c1ngela is committed to offering differentiated coffee with a wide variety\u00a0of flavours, but to achieve this, it is essential to begin with quality agronomic work. Her goal is for the coffees to\u00a0be so exquisite that, without the need for complicated processes, they can captivate the final customers.<\/p>\n

The project is entirely family-run, and everyone involved is more motivated than ever to continue learning and\u00a0taking the coffee from the farm to new horizons. \u00c1ngela, with her experience, dedication, and vision, has\u00a0transformed the family legacy into a model of innovation within coffee farming, never losing sight of the essence\u00a0of what it means to work the land and the coffee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
