Finca Mileydi began as a shared endeavour between its producer and her husband, Ever Leonel Díaz, in the mountains of Chalatenango. Together, they worked to build the farm and seek better opportunities for their coffee. In the early years, resources were limited. Coffee had to be transported on horseback and pulped by hand, but they continued improving their work.
Their efforts eventually led to a first-place finish at the 2021 El Salvador Cup of Excellence. Following Ever's passing in 2022, the producer continued caring for Finca Mileydi with the support of her children and family, earning another first-place finish in 2023.
This year's 7th place ranking in the Washed and Honey category adds another chapter to their journey.
For us, purchasing this lot through the Cup of Excellence auction goes beyond simply acquiring an award-winning coffee. It reflects our belief in a system that recognises producers for the quality of their work and helps create greater economic opportunities through coffee.
