Martha Cecilia

An exceptional coffee variety cultivated on an 80-year-old plantation managed by Martha Cecilia Rodriquez.

This coffee goes through a 90-hour ferment in sealed barrels and is then sun-dried for approximately 30 days. Very light mouthfeel replaced by a sparkling acid, leaving a winy aroma and pink grapefruit note aftertaste.

About producer, Martha is the third generation of coffee growers. Her grandfather started to grow coffee in the region 80 years ago, when he died the land passed to Martha’s parents and then they inherited it to their 7 children who continued with the tradition.

In view of the small size of the farm, Martha decided to change the traditional varieties for a high value variety such as Geisha in order to have a better income and obtain a better profitability. In 2021 with the help of her brothers she decided to start processing the coffee as natural to add more complexity to the cup and after several tests, she developed the anaerobic fermentation protocol.

Martha is a woman recognized in the community for her spirit of solidarity, she uses part of the money she obtains from the sale of coffee to help people in need, she makes donations to nursing homes, helps sick people who need money for treatment, collaborates with local schools.
