Red Cat Light Roast

The first generation of the Ortega family were pioneers of coffee production in the village of San Agustin. Three generations later, Esnaider Ortega-Gomez, and his grandfather Don Olgar Ortega-Bolaos, are now owners of the farm Villa Maria and responsible for this JUICY delight that has more body than a blue whale!

We are proud to call Esnaider our friend, as he’s truly an inspirational person. We have no doubt that he is going to accomplish some remarkable things in the long career ahead of him. Not only does he produce exceptional coffees, but he’s also a tireless advocate for his community and other farmers.

Esnaider is a driving force behind Monkaaba, a small cooperative of small freehold farmers, who work to ensure farmers get the best price for their hard work and are treated with respect, by establishing genuine, direct trade relationships with small businesses and roasters like us!
