Franklin Adonis Madrid Villanueva (Finca Patepluma)

Franklin Madrid represents the proud third generation of a family whose very lifeblood is coffee farming. Since his earliest days, he walked the fields by the side of his father, Esteban Madrid, learning a trade that would eventually become his life's masterpiece.

His extraordinary dedication is evidenced by an awe-inspiring achievement: Franklin has participated in all 24 editions of the Cup of Excellence. His flawless quality earned him first place in his category in 2008, a life-changing recognition that unlocked doors to international buyers. For Franklin, the competition is a constant wellspring of motivation; his greatest reward is tasting his own hard work and improvements in the cup during the judging processes.

Cultivating exquisite Gesha, Pacas, Pacamara, Bourbon, and Parainema varieties, Franklin has recently poured his soul into mastering post-harvest fermentation to extract the absolute best flavors for his clients. He believes his farm's unique magic stems from the perfect harmony of altitude, climate, and soil, combined with his obsessive care from the moment the cherry is picked. Looking to the horizon, his bold dream is to build an advanced coffee testing and cupping lab on his farm, fostering a sustainable paradise that balances environmental wellness, perfect quality, and community development.
