The Ureña Family
Fifteen years ago, Régulo and Isabel embarked on a journey fueled by dreams of a brighter future for their family. With hearts full of hope and determination, they made a bold leap from production to processing their own coffee, embracing the thrilling challenge of controlling the entire process. Over the years, their vision expanded, and they began exporting their exquisite coffee directly from their farm to various corners of the globe.
As their venture blossomed, so did their family. Their youngest daughter, Tatiana, was born, bringing joy and new energy to their lives. Meanwhile, Ricardo, Mario, and Esteban completed their studies and joined the family business, dedicating themselves fully to the company’s mission. Luis, on his own path, continued his studies in medicine, adding another layer of pride to the family's accomplishments.
The family also welcomed new members: Ricardo's wife, Tati Esquivel, and the next generation, Sara and Luciana, who represent the future of this thriving legacy. Through every challenge and triumph, Régulo and Isabel’s unwavering commitment and the unity of their growing family have turned their dream into a reality, creating a lasting impact on the world, one cup of coffee at a time.
