Our Story
José Mariano Rodriguez originally purchased Finca Capetillo in 1874. His son Juan José Rodriguez, a world-renowned entomologist, introduced modern agriculture practices, and so did the next generation led by Federico and Ernesto Rodriguez Benito, making Capetillo the premier coffee farm for the advancement of agriculture practices in the country.

Coffee
Capetillo grows Bourbon, Caturra, Catuaí, Pache and Pacamara varieties. The resulting coffee is characterized by a crisp, sparkling acidity and full body, with a singular, distinctive expression, along with notes of berries, cocoa, apricot, and peach, and a bit of citrus. The citric acidity is soft and approachable as it provides a palate-cleansing characteristic to its flavor profile. Its chocolate forma is directly related to the actual flavor of our coffee.
