Jenner Villatoro

Working with the Villatoros means more than sourcing excellent coffee. It means supporting a multigenerational family enterprise where knowledge passes from parent to child, where cousins unite to face challenges together, and where tradition meets innovation in meaningful ways. Their quick thinking when weather threatens, their willingness to experiment with new processing methods, their dedication to maintaining quality despite obstacles, these qualities make them remarkable partners.

For us at Sagebrush, it's about knowing the people behind our coffee and understanding their stories. The Villatoros have taught us that great coffee comes from more than good soil and proper elevation. It comes from families who view their work as a calling, who face each harvest with determination, and who welcome visitors as friends rather than customers. Every time we cup their coffee, I remember standing in the rain at Punta del Cerro with rake in hand, working together to protect something precious. That's the spirit we taste in every cup, the spirit of partnership, perseverance, and genuine care for the craft.
