Farm History

Founded in 2000, the Ponderosa Farm embodies a fusion of eco-friendly cultivation and community collaboration. Spanning 8.66 hectares, it grows varieties like Red Catuaí, Geisha, and Pacamara.

Run by the fourth and fifth generations of the Pérez family, the farm emphasizes rigorous quality control and continuous innovation to meet the highest standards from seed to cup. Sustainability is central to its philosophy, with practices such as ethical farming, organic fertilization, and responsible environmental stewardship preserving resources and enriching the soil.

The harvest season, from January to April, benefits from consistent rainfall, creating ideal conditions for bean development. In 2021, the "slow-drying natural process" was introduced as the best method to enhance the beans’ flavors and textures. Ponderosa combines tradition and research to deliver premium coffee and improve quality of life.

What is the Cup of Excellence?

Cup Of Excellence is one of the coffee industry's most prestigious competitions, which continues to increase the recognition of the work of coffee farmers.

The competition allows unbiased and stringent analysis of coffee quality and allows farmers of all sizes to participate. It gives them the tools to improve their coffees further.

Coffees go through several rounds of tough evaluation by national and then international judges. Often, only a few dozen of the sometimes thousands of submitted coffees make it through the first, national round.

The farms of the winning coffees will most often gain longterm recognition and get to auction their coffees in a global online-auction for premium prizes.

We are proud to be able to support the project as a Global Coffee Centre and Member of the Alliance for Coffee Excellence.

Family Project Supremo

Our quality standards

We are convinced that no machine can replace a traditional roasting start and a good roasting master. At Supremo, coffee is not industrially produced - because Supremo is a traditional family coffee roaster. Day after day we work hard together to produce the best coffee and to inspire our customers for true coffee enjoyment! We attach great importance to first-class and always checked manual work.

The roasting craft

We roast in several small, traditional cast-iron roasting drums. We take our time until the coffee is really well roasted - each roasting batch separately. Due to the slow roasting, the coffee tastes strong and is particularly easy on the stomach and digestible. Insiders call this "Cast Iron Slow Roast". We call it: "Good things take time". Because if you roast too hot and too fast, you get beans that are brown on the outside - but don't reveal much of the magic inside. But this is exactly what we want to get out of the beans. After roasting, we do not rub the beans with water. We cool them with air and thus give them the opportunity to intensify the roasting aroma. Best craftsmanship and time - that is our secret!
