ABOUT don alexis coffee
Specialty coffee from the renowned Los Santos region

TRADITION MEETS INNOVATION
Owned and operated by the Ramirez-Navarro family, their story begins with Mr. Alexis Ramirez, a lifelong farmer whose passion for the land and dedication to agriculture continues to guide them every day. Though Mr. Alexis passed away a few years ago, his vision and values remain the heart of their work — inspiring them to preserve and grow the family legacy he built with such care.
In 2015, the family took a bold step forward by building their own micro-mill, “Los Campos.” This milestone allowed to process their own coffee, ensuring full control over quality and traceability while reducing dependence on the cooperative system. Direct trade had long been a dream for the family, which is why their collaboration with Grounds represents such an important achievement.
The main coffee varieties are Caturra and Catuai, but they are now exploring new horizons by planting F-1 Hybrid varieties such as Esperanza, Milenio, and Centroamericano—a step toward greater diversity and sustainability. Gesha has been planted at the highest point of the farm, at 2,000 meters, nestled within a forested area that provides ideal growing conditions.
At Los Campos, they experiment with a range of processing methods, from classic high-quality washed coffees to innovative fermentation techniques, both aerobic and anaerobic.
