André Meléndez's family has been involved in agriculture all his life, especially cattle farming. His father, Welter, had been a coffee farmer for more than 20 years. In 2021, market prices were so low that Welter wanted to sell the farm and concentrate on cattle.
His son André persuaded him to continue in this direction by investing in post-harvest processing.

Finca Liquidámbar was founded 9 years ago. It is located at the top of a mountain, just over 1,450 metres above sea level, in the mountains of the department of Jalapa. Of the 70 hectares that make up the farm, only 14 are used to grow coffee in an agroforestry system, the rest being forest.
The varieties grown are Bourbon, Catuaí, Caturra, Pacamara and Geisha.

Environment
In 2021, Welter wanted to stop growing coffee because it was no longer profitable and concentrate on cattle and milk production. His son André, then 24, persuaded him to make one last effort and decided to invest in modernising the farm's processing facilities. Today they are equipped with a new Penagos pulper, a mechanical dryer and patios.
