About the Producer
This is our first harvest buying Meladis Reyes’ coffees and we’re delighted to have connected. Meladis has only been producing coffee for 2 years, after working as an administrator for 20 years. On her commute to work she would pass by coffee farms and dream of owning one. After initially buying land from a neighbour in 1998, she subsequently expanded the area of her holding over a couple of years, with help from other neighbours and family.
Four years ago, she applied for a loan to begin coffee production and started planting the Parainema varietal. For the last two years, she has been working closely with BSV to prepare her first micro-lots, and we’re excited to see her build her own wet mill during the off-season.
