Passing through Palanda and Zumba during the summer of 2019, we found a beautiful, well developed coffee and cacao plantation. As he always does, Arturo immediately halted our trusted driver, Gerrardo, and jumped out the truck. After a few, “Hellos” - Jose Mayo came to the gate. After learning his story of perseverance and hard work, there was no doubt in any of our minds - we wanted Jose Mayo to be a part of our team! Thankfully for us, he agreed - and like that, a partnership was born!
Grown at over 4,300 feet above sea level, Jose Mayo’s plantation in Palanda, Ecuador, is a true work of art. With colonies of bees scattered throughout the plantation, Jose has focused on cross-pollinating the various crops at his plantation. With cacao, exotic flowers, and other common fruits, Jose’s coffee is packed with flavor.
