/lb
Martha is Arnulfo’s wife and his steadfast partner in their coffee journey. While Arnulfo tends to the land, Martha balances caring for their daughter with playing a vital role in the farm’s day-to-day operations. In fact, she’s the one who handles some of the most critical aspects of their business—negotiating prices, setting delivery dates, and overseeing the drying process with precision and care. This lot is dedicated to her. It was carefully fermented for eight days after being depulped, resulting in one of the sweetest and most balanced coffees we've ever tasted. It’s a reflection not just of their shared effort, but of Martha’s quiet strength and attention to detail—qualities that shine through in every cup.

Arnulfo Caro & Martha Cartagena
Arnulfo Caro, inspired by his brother, started growing coffee in 2020, harvesting his first crop in 2022, and has since been marketing specialty coffee with his wife, Martha, and their family. While Martha focuses on coffee processing and raising their young daughter, Arnulfo, a former miner, is fully dedicated to expanding the farm, guided by his mentor, Santiago’s father.
