この豆の生産者であるオトニエル氏は、同じくコーヒー豆の生産者を父に持ち、物心ついた頃からコーヒーがすぐそばにありました。

オトニエル氏はやがて、コーヒーの果肉除去や水洗いの工程など、農園での日々の作業を手伝うようになりました。そして15歳の時、父親から譲り受けた農園の一角で、自身の小さなコーヒー農園を始めます。年月をかけて父親の教えを実践しながら徐々に自立していき、やがて父の農園の運営の後継者となりました。

今日、彼は自身の農園「フィンカ・ロス・ロブレス（Finca Los Robles）」を非常に誇りに思っています。農園の作業の多くはオトニエル氏自身が担っていますが、彼の息子が手伝うようになり、その姿にかつての自分自身を重ね合わせることがあると言います。2015年、オトニエルは自身のコーヒーをスペシャルティコーヒー市場で販売することに挑戦しました。それは、コーヒー農園の成功のためだけでなく、家族や子どもたちの十分な生活や教育のためでもあるのです。

Coffee has been a key part of Otoniel’ s life for as far back as he can remember.

His father used to be a coffee producer. As Otoniel grew older, his father taught him all about coffee production. He used to help his father with his daily tasks on the farm and always enjoyed helping him to de-pulp and wash the coffee. When Otoniel was 15 years old, he started his own small coffee farm, a piece of his father’s farm that he gave him to experiment on. Over the years, Otoniel slowly became more independent, putting into practice everything that his father taught him, and he soon took over everything.

Today, he is very proud of Finca Los Robles because it is the result of his efforts, hard work, and dedication over many years. A large portion of the work on the farm is carried out by Otoniel and he is watching his story repeating, seeing his son help him on the farm, to hopefully see him become a coffee grower on his own. For this reason, when his son is on holiday, he helps his father out on the farm. In the year 2015, in the search for better prices and higher incomes, Otoniel decided to try and sell his coffee on the specialty coffee market. He always dreamed of seeing his children study, to offer them a good education and to improve the quality of his family’s life, so he decided the better option would be to go the extra mile to produce amazing high-quality coffees.
