Cuchi inherited his first plot of coffee from his parents and has now given a new plot, planted with Caturra, to his second daughter Ilda Gonzales and her husband Milton Hilario to continue the family’s coffee growing tradition. His eldest daughter is studying to become a primary school teacher. We last visited Cuchi and the farm in August 2025, just as this year’s crop was beginning to mature.

A further 2 facts on this page were read from part of the shop page that holds no sentence — a menu or a product grid — so there is nothing to quote for them.
Taken from the roaster’s own pages, and nothing here has been verified by us or by an independent body. What we store is a passage of page text cut around the fact, so one shown with an ellipsis is a passage we cannot see the start or the end of; only the fully quoted ones are complete sentences.
