Luis Pedro Zelaya is a fourth-generation coffee grower, a trained agronomist and the leader of the region’s smallholder community. Señor Zelaya’s family started to focus on specialty quality in the early 2000s and today both of their farms (Finca Bella Vista and Finca Carmona) operate in the spirit of high quality and sustainability. Over the years, many arabica varieties have been planted, of which Gesha performs particularly well.
