Introducing Eliseo Blanco Villalba, a passionate coffee producer from the enchanting town of Ciénaga, Magdalena. With 12 years of coffee expertise and a charming farm named "Mi Delicia," Eliseo cultivates 5 hectares of coffee trees amidst a lush 7-hectare landscape. Surrounded by 25,000 trees, including the popular Castillo and Colombia Rojo varieties, his coffee harvests are a true labor of love.

Eliseo's commitment to his family and community shines through his coffee production. Coffee not only sustains his family but also provides employment for 15 dedicated workers during the harvest season. With a heart full of ambition, Eliseo dreams of expanding his production and ensuring the well-being of his plants.

Deeply rooted in conservation, Eliseo takes great pride in his sustainable practices. From meticulous soil fertilization to the preservation of water resources and forests, his dedication is unwavering. Even the challenging terrain of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta cannot hinder Eliseo's passion for coffee. He navigates the difficult access routes, braving rainy seasons, all in the pursuit of producing exceptional coffee.

Through legal sales to the Caficosta Cooperative, Eliseo contributes to the thriving Colombian coffee industry. Coffee has become the lifeline of his family, transforming their lives and granting them financial stability. Selling coffee as cherry, rather than parchment, not only brings economic benefits but also helps reduce environmental impact—a win-win for Eliseo and the planet.

Join Eliseo on his coffee journey and discover the enchantment of Mi Delicia, where love, hard work, and a perfect cup of coffee come together in harmony.
