The Contreras family has been cultivating coffee in El Salvador for over a century, spanning five generations on the fertile slopes of Monte Verde near the Chingo Volcano. The family's commitment to excellence has helped them produce rich, sweet coffees that capture the vibrant character of the region's unique terroir.

They are also invested in community welfare, with plans to establish health clinics for prenatal care, diabetes management, and parasite treatment, and they run an animal sanctuary on their farm.

Monte Verde, the family’s largest farm, is planted with Bourbon and Pacas varieties thriving in nutrient-rich volcanic soil. Beyond coffee, the Contreras family prioritizes sustainable practices and community support, aspiring to launch food assistance programs for their workers and their families to combat malnutrition.
