A few words about Teo Engelhardt

Teo Engelhardt belongs to the fourth generation of coffee producers to have worked at this La Florida farm, located in the heart of the Sierra de las Minas mountain range. He quite literally grew up in coffee, and spent his childhood at the finca playing on drying patios, in rivers and riding horses. In 1999, his father asked him to help out at the farm temporarily. Then more regularly. Teo had just finished his studies in Cambridge and had job interviews at two different companies. His father then asked him to help improve the quality control process, his farming methods, harvesting techniques, and so on. He made it clear to his son from the outset that he could never pay as much as the other two companies, but said that taking over this farm would be a source of additional value. His father asked that he abide by two rules: - to always keep his word in the coffee business, like the three Teos before him - to be smart enough to make a living from his work Twenty years on, Teo has kept his word and is still just as committed to his farm.
