Jean Vilhena is the owner of the Santa Monica farm and comes from a family with more than 100 años of experience producing coffee. A family that has always had a modern vision and has opted for advances in its facilities for the production of its coffees. Jean was born into a family with a great coffee growing tradition and a centennial history.According to Jean, his coffee history began in heaven because as a Catholic he believes that God chooses us all for a purpose in life and his was and is to be a coffee grower.
