Cafe Bonifacio
History
The history of our coffee began in the 1950s in El Caño of San Miguel in Cocle Province where Don Bonifacio dedicated his time to work the land to grow his own food. He then established his first coffee plantation but at that time the farmers in the area only planted Caracolillo or Peaberry coffee as it is known. The production of coffee became one of the family’s main activities producing and selling ripe coffee beans while leaving his legacy behind for the next generation. Robusta coffee production was then born and this then led to the acquiring additional lands not only to assure a greater future production but also the highest quality of Robusta coffee possible.

Natural Process
To obtain the high quality of our product we consider several factors such as care for the soil, grains free of defects and matured in their maximum splendor also hand-picked to guarantee the best quality. This process is the contrary and very different from industrial production where the majority of the work is carried out by immense machines. Even though industrial production has a great quality and good taste it does not have the personal touch of the farmer. Our method consists of drying the whole mature bean after having harvested it without removing the shell, leaving all its layers in solar coffee dryers. When processed in this way it retains important attributes such as a robust body as the name indicates and a high dose of caffeine.
Sustainability
The farm represents a truly essential space for the wildlife and biodiversity of the area which is why we carry out each process carefully through ecological and environmentally friendly systems.
