Arcesio Pancho

Producer Info:

High in the mountains, surrounded by breathtaking landscapes, lies Finca Bellavista-named for its privileged location that offers stunning views of the region. For Arcesio Pancho, coffee has been a lifelong journey. He started young, working as a picker across various farms, saving every penny until he could purchase his own land and cultivate his dream.

With 30 years in coffee production and four years dedicated to specialty coffee, Arcesio has embraced continuous learning. He has refined his cultivation techniques, improved processing methods, and is now working on expanding his drying infrastructure. Producing specialty coffee allows him to offer something unique and obtain a fairer price for his work.

On the farm, everything is done as a family. His wife and children are deeply involved in daily tasks, working together in a traditional minga, a communal effort where everyone supports each other. Arcesio believes that what makes his farm special is the land itself-the rich soil that gives his coffee its distinctive quality.

His biggest dream is to expand his farm, but distance and challenging road conditions make reaching town a difficult task. Despite this, his passion remains strong. To those who enjoy his coffee, he shares a simple message:

"With your support, we can continue improving our farm and our home, ensuring that every cup tells the story of our hard work and dedication."
