Marialy is from Bolivia, and started working with small farmers early in her life. Farmer education, adult literacy and small business run deep in her blood. Opening up a coffee roastery was the natural next step. She learned early on that the best way to help farmers and work across countries is to establish long lasting business relations. And that is what she has done. Cervantes Coffee started by importing small amounts of coffee from Bolivia and Peru, and later from Nicaragua and Honduras. Today we work directly with small farmer cooperatives across the globe, and visit farms several times a year to maintain relations with farmers and grow new ones.
