Our story
Hacienda Las Mercedes: A Legacy That Grows Cup by Cup
In the mountains of Ciudad Bolívar, Antioquia, our family has been cultivating coffee for four generations. What began as our great-grandparents' dream has become an internationally recognized specialty coffee operation.
Every plant, every batch, and every cup that comes from Hacienda Las Mercedes carries the care of those of us who have lived among coffee trees our entire lives.
We don't sell coffee. We sell the result of four generations of patience, hands, and mountains.

We visited as importers and the level of transparency at each stage convinced us. Today we have an export contract. Family and professional operation at the same time.
We took a corporate group of 12 people and everyone was delighted. Impeccable logistics, delicious lunch, and we learned a lot about coffee.
