1. What connects you to coffee? Why do you work with coffee?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’m in the coffee business because it’s a family tradition that started 26 years ago with my wife’s family, and when I started roasting coffee, I became fascinated by the complexity of the plant. Years later and especially in these last 4 years, I am more interested in what is behind the coffee. The families, the culture, the art, even the entrepreneurs who need coffee as a fuel to realise their dreams. It is not a simple drink, but it is very similar to coca for my civilization. It is a natural energizer that makes it possible for anyone to fulfill their dreams in all areas of knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For this reason I am building the coffee processing plant in the sacred valley with renewable energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. What did you do before working with coffee?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before working with coffee, my life was in the world of engineering. And now let’s say it’s a combination of both. Coffee and my profession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. What’s the most important thing about coffee for you? What’s good coffee for you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That it is fresh and of quality so that all the beneficial attributes are intact. And that it has a history behind it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. What is your favorite way to drink your coffee? How do you drink your coffee?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I drink coffee in all its forms. Espresso, American, coldbrew… and most of the time I use mocha at home. Or the classic filter coffee. I like to take time to grind and enjoy the coffee. Almost like meditating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. What do you think about fair trade?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s something we should promote more strongly. Coffee requires an immense amount of resources and unfortunately does not fully benefit those who do the difficult work of producing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
6. Is there anything else you would like to say?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes, coffee for me is a whole new world but one that has made me better understand the role of coca in the Andean communities that are already lost. It’s a sacred plant that should not only be sold but also consumed in order to develop the country. In all areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
