Victor Dota, from Loja, Ecuador

Victor began his coffee journey 3 years ago (2022, this is quite literally his first crop!). He learned a lot from his neighbor Don Abel Salinas, and he actually got the Typica Mejorado seeds from him. Before growing coffee, he used to grow short-cycle crops such as onions, legumes and others for the local market, and he also lent his labor as a worker on other farms in the area.

His coffe production just started but quality is already on the high-end, which goes to show the passion and perseverence of Victor!
