History

Don Efraín began his journey in coffee at age fourteen. In 2004, he took full control of his farm and initiated a modernization process for their production methods. This effort eventually led to the establishment of the family-operated Santa Rosa 1900 micro-mill, which processes coffee from their various family-owned farms.
