Farm: El Placer →History
Although he grew up in a coffee-farming family, Ramirez was initially reluctant to pursue the profession due to the modest returns his parents experienced. Over twenty years ago, he enrolled in a coffee course to help save the family farm from being lost, which sparked a lifelong passion for the industry. He has since transitioned into a producer known for pushing the boundaries of specialty coffee through advanced processing methods.
