STORY: Mario Moreno is a third generation coffee producer. The eldest brother in the Moreno family, and the driving force behind the Morenos’ collective movement to specialty coffee. He purchased La Orquidea in 2014 and began planting in 2015.
The 2005 Cup of Excellence was a turning point for Miguel – his 18th place position at the competition came after years of struggling to make coffee production economically viable for his family. Coffee was so unsustainable that for a time, he felt forced to live and work in the US as an undocumented worker to keep food on the table for his family back home in El Cedral. The CoE wins (there have been many since 2005) have dramatically changed things for the family over the years, as they have wisely and progressively invested that year’s and subsequent auction winnings into better infrastructure for processing and drying.
The family itself continues to evolve with the younger generation growing up and taking on more responsibility over the coffee activities. The Morenos’ commitment to their buyers, with Miguel at the helm, remains steadfastly loyal and forward-looking.
This is the third year we have carried a coffee from the Morenos and to say we are thrilled would be an understatement. This coffee was so lovely on the cupping table that we were thoroughly surprised and decided to purchase all the bags available to us. So we are honored and excited to share this coffee with you!
We roast and ship every Monday & Thursday. Orders must be received by 5PM on Sunday and Wednesday to ensure it gets added to our production. Orders placed after 5PM on on Sunday and Wednesday will be roasted and shipped out the next production day.
Please Note: Taxes have been included in the price.
