Pastor Ordoñez works with the Monkaaba community of smallholders, who successfully advocate for stable, fair prices for their coffees. This greater financial stability has allowed Pastor Ordoñez to offer some of his coffees as micro-lots, including this stunning SL-28.
SL-28 is an African landrace variety known for its vibrant, effervescent, and refreshing acidity and deep berry-like sweetness. We are pleased to offer a coffee that is both sweet and complex in the cup, bringing to mind spiced tropical fruits and fragrant flowers.

“Despite these challenges that have made his life as a coffee grower more complex, Don Pastor has persevered and played a crucial role in the development of specialty coffee in his region. He was an original member of the now-famous Los Naranjos Association, formed in 2000, which consists of small producers who banded together to gain better market access for their coffee….
As part of his growth as a coffee producer, he is now focused on building relationships he has never experienced before, and he hopes Semilla can assist him in this endeavour. Specifically, Don Pastor aspires to have his name recognized internationally as a producer of high-quality coffee and to develop direct, stable relationships with the importers and roasters who purchase his coffee. He never had the opportunity to communicate directly with the roasters who have bought his coffee, and it has been incredibly meaningful for him to establish that connection.”
