The Project.

Finca Eliza is part of ChocoVilcaMundo (CVM), an Ecuadorian agricultural company owned by Bernard Uhe and his Colombian coffee-growing family. In 2016, Martin and his daughters purchased the Eliza Coffee Farm in Loja, Ecuador. Martin's passion for specialty coffee was ignited during visits to Boquete, Panama, leading him to partner with Bernard to explore specialty coffee production. The exceptional quality of the coffee is attributed to various factors, including high elevation, fertile soil, mineral-rich mountain water, nutrient-rich shade trees, ample sunlight, and the use of neem and worm tea to enhance plant vitality and coffee bean quality, resulting in a delightful and healthful cup of coffee.
