CARLOS TORRES
PRODUCER
The history of this farm dates back to 1950 when Noe Burbano bought it. Eventually, the coffee plantation was passed on to his mother, Teresa Burbano de Torres, and it is now in the hands of the third generation of coffee growers with Carlos. Currently, his parents work together on the farm and, along with his sister Patricia, are responsible for administration. His wife, Angela Patiño, a prominent Q grader in the region, manages the farm's quality processes. On the farm, they use renewable energy and oversee the entire process of cultivation, harvesting, processing, cupping, and quality evaluation in the laboratory, in addition to testing new varieties. Their goal is to have a laboratory accessible to producers and their families.
