Margoth Fuentes, like many coffee producers, has been a part of the coffee industry since birth with deep familial ties to farming in Panama. The 34 year old farmer and her husband, Mario Guillen, recently inherited the Maya Coffee Estate in Alto Jaramillo, Panama, a farm that was started in 1988. Spanning 6 hectares with an elevation of 1500 to 1690 meters above sea level, the estate hosts around 10,000 coffee plants, primarily Catuai, Geisha and Pacamara varieties. Margoth’s passion for sustainable practices is evident in their use of eco-friendly inputs, organic fertilizers, and biological technologies, ensuring harmony with the surrounding biodiversity. As mentioned before, both Margoth and Mario are deeply rooted in coffee traditions from their childhood. Coffee isn't just their livelihood; it's a daily ritual of devotion coupled with a strong sense of pride and dedication to their trade and to the deep green mountains of Panama. The Maya Coffee Estate, purchased in 1988 by Margoth's parents-in-law, Abelardo Guillen and Celvy Sittón de Guillén, is a testament to their vision. The couple's decision in 2015 to renew the plantation marked a pivotal turning point. The estate was gradually replanted with young coffee plants, showcasing their dedication to coffee cultivation. From meticulous harvesting to precise processing, Margoth and Mario lead the process. Cherries are collected, measured, and carefully inspected, ensuring consistency and perfection from their harvest. The couple partnered with Creativa Coffee District, our sibling company in Panama, to mill, process, and export their coffee. Their coffee journey is a celebration of passion, tradition, and growth, embodied in the tapestry of Maya Coffee Estate by Margoth Fuentes and Mario Guillen.
