As we started out in business, we found ourselves operating under several names: Hacienda la Papaya, CAFEXPORTO and Juan Peña. We have made the decision to use the brand CAFEXPORTO -The Specialty Coffee of Ecuador- going forward. We apologize for any confusion.
Since 2009 our award-winning beans have been exported thought-out the world to Roasters and Importers participating in the growing, specialty-coffee market.
Juan Peña, the founder of CAFEXPORTO, has had a passion for coffee since growing up on his family farm near Loja, Ecuador. Juan went on to receive an engineering degree in agronomy and since then his passion and skill have allowed him to manage the production of some of the world’s finest coffee.
Starting in 2017, CAFEXPORTO has been taking steps, with Roaster clients, to move the farm closer to the cup. We believe the final consumer is interested in our story.
We are a small company that understands the needs of roasters and we strive for developing long lasting relationships through personalized customer service.
CAFEXPORTO is now working with many other small farms to increase the quality and consistency of their production. As the production from these farms meets the strict standards of CAFEXPORTO, they become qualified to export with us under our name. We have helped many farmers previously unable to find a market for their coffee to become quality producers and to reach financial stability. This part of our mission has developed many happy stories.
