Visiting Robin on Peña Roja, the first thing you’ll notice is Robin’s welcoming demeanour and kindness. Robin has four lots in Agua Dulce. Having worked in coffee full time since he was 13, Robin worked the land alongside his father and knew from a young age coffee would be his passion. This lot is a select blend of Robin’s three small San Pedro Necta lots - Capulines, La Reforma, & El Huerto.
I had the pleasure of meeting Robin in March 2020, right before the first lockdown. Shown here are Robin & me next to his drying patio. As well I got to meet his very sweet father in law who fed us some bread made in his own wood oven. Also shown is a photo of Robin cutting up some sugar cane for us to try.
