Born in 1977, Octavio grew up in the coffee-producing region of Jaen. About 5 years
ago, he inherited land and began growing coffee of his own. The total area of the farm is 3.5 hectares, where 3.25 hectares are utilized for growing coffee trees.

We’ve been consistently inspired by Santuario’s commitment to honesty and
transparency, their dedication to education and growth, and their devotion to quality as a way to add real value to people’s lives. Led by president Gonzalo Guevara and Ismael Alarcon, Santuario has grown rapidly in the two years since its founding, currently supporting an active membership of 360 smallholder producers and producer groups.

With high elevations, diverse microclimates, high-quality soil, and varieties of Yellow Caturra, Yellow Bourbon, Bourbon, Typica, Pache, and Catimor, coffees from Santuario offer notes of milk chocolate, peach, and gram cracker
