This is a research profile, not an independently conducted farm visit. Producer and coffee relationships are shown only when the records agree. Check the research sources below for supporting evidence.
The story
Maria Estela works with her three children and manages post-harvest processing on-farm. Her son Antony is training in post-harvest techniques. El Morito formalized in 2022 as an association of smallholders who process independently and consolidate for export.
Innovations
Maria processes coffee on-farm within El Moritoβs decentralized model, preserving individual traceability while sharing training, storage, and export support.
Published coffees linked to this farm
For blends, a farm may be named for one documented component without growing the entire coffee. These catalog relationships do not independently verify every lot, harvest or producer. See individual coffee profiles for traceability evidence.
Editorial illustrationResearch sources & verification
These source links were recorded for this farm profile. They document its research trail; a linked source is not, by itself, confirmation of every farm, producer, coffee lot or photo identity.
