About Wilmer Stiven Parra :

For the past 40 years, Wilmer Parra has cared for his family’s farm, a place passed down through generations and rooted deeply in tradition. Living there with his wife Elena and their son Miller, Wilmer has dedicated his life to coffee cultivation, which remains the family’s main livelihood. Through coffee, they’ve built a life that honors their heritage, supports their children’s education, and maintains a way of living that is closely tied to the land and to the values of hard work and community.

For Wilmer, what makes his coffee truly special isn’t just the variety or the quality of the beans; it’s the fact that every step of the process is done together as a family. From planting and nurturing the trees to harvesting, processing, and drying, each stage reflects years of shared dedication and care. A few years ago, Wilmer began a new chapter by venturing into specialty coffee production after discovering the Maragogipe variety, known for its large beans, distinct aroma, and exceptional cup quality. This shift marked a transformation toward greater quality, sustainability, and pride in the family’s work, carrying their legacy into a new era.
