Delfina Porras & Mayra Solís
Vamay Coffee is the result of a family-owned Costa Rican venture from Santa María de Dota, a rural area internationally recognized for the high quality of its coffee.
Her journey
Lorena grew up with her grandparents and from a young age, helped on the farms by picking cherries and taking care of coffee plants which eventually fueled her passion to become a coffee producer.
She sees coffee farming as a way of life - it's the source of joy, happiness, and challenges for her and her family. She is frequently challenged as the leader of her farm especially while managing male workers who are not used to female leaders.
Nevertheless, she focuses on the positive aspects of the process and continues to learn and grow in the art of coffee production.
She’s an inspiring leader, mother, and a life-long learner.
She has not received formal education, but her passion for learning is unmatchable. She radiates love, joy, and curiosity to learn more and further improve the quality of her cherries and roasts.
She aspires to share her coffee with a global audience and fulfill her own dream of traveling the world with her coffee.
