José Ignacio Gómez took over Finca el Paraíso from his father Pastor Ezequiel Gómez. The 6.5 hectare farm is located near Buesaco in Nariño, a region known for generations of producers, who grow some of Colombia’s standout coffees. José cultivates Caturra, Colombia, and Castillo varieties, alongside oranges, lemons, and avocados. His hands-on, detail-driven approach combines years of experience with a desire to experiment, an inherited passion, and a commitment to continual improvement.

This natural lot was grown on the Ruera Estate, a 190 hectare site in Kiambu County, where a focus on quality and continuous improvement has firmly put them on the specialty map. Managed by Coffee Management Services (CMS), the estate benefits from regular input from agronomists, who work with the team to continuously refine farming practices and processing methods.

Andrés Reyes Hernandez’s 4 hectare farm, Reyes, is found at 1670-1700 masl in the mountains of Pozo Negro, Intibucá. Coffee farming runs in the family; his grandfather was a pioneer of coffee production in Pozo Negro, helping to establish the practice in the community. Today, Andrés continues this legacy, working alongside his wife Teresa and their family across the farm. They grow the IH-90 varietal, a hybrid developed in Honduras in the 80s and 90s.

Los Luchadores brings together Pacamara cherries from 2 of the Salaverria family's farms, Villa Guadalupe and San Francisco, located on the sandy loam slopes of the Santa Ana volcano in El Salvador at 1400-1650 masl. The Salaverrias are 6th-generation coffee producers, with José Antonio working alongside his sons, José Antonio Jr and Andrés. The name ‘Los Luchadores' translates as 'The Fighters' - a tribute to the dedication and effort of their team, recognising the skill and innovation required to produce exceptional lots year after year.
