Finca Santa Cruz |🥇 Washed
Located in the Sierra de Cuxtepeques, Finca Santa Cruz is a story of resilience and passion, originally founded by the López Aguilar family in 1956. In 2013, the Argüello family took ownership of the neglected farm, making the bold decision to start from scratch. They replanted meticulously selected coffee varieties to make Finca Santa Cruz a benchmark for quality and innovation in Mexican coffee.
Their dedication paid off, and in 2019, Finca Santa Cruz debuted in the Taza de Excelencia México, consistently ranking among the top three producers since. This success validated the family’s belief in doing things differently, which includes experimenting with post-harvest processes and investing in quality. Their distinct, process-driven coffees are now sought after by customers who value their rigorous quality control and dedication to their craft.
For the Argüello family, Finca Santa Cruz is not just a farm; it is their home. They are committed to sustainability and environmental stewardship, constantly seeking new ways to innovate and support their community. With their children now part of the business, the family is confident that the legacy of Finca Santa Cruz will continue to thrive, fueled by a shared love for the land and the exceptional coffee it produces.
