Finca Angamaza from Loja, Ecuador

Angel has only fully dedicated himself to the production of coffee approximately 9 or 10 years ago. Around that time, a local association of growers was formed to help market and find buyers for their coffees; they even brought in agronomists and technical assistance as offered by the local municipality. 

This was a huge factor in motivating Angel to produce higher quality coffee and receive higher prices for his coffees. The association has since disbanded, but Angel continues to focus on producing high quality coffees, looking for buyers who value and appreciate his efforts.

We actually met Angel by chance, and very much appreciate his efforts! While attending a regional competition in Loja, Ecuador in 2018, we ended up buying a lot from his cousin. After the event, we went to speak with his cousin and Angel was there as well, ready with samples.
