Our history
In the year of 1954, Luis Emilio Eguiguren Burneo planted the first coffee trees in  Hacienda Santa Gertrudis, comercializing the  product in the surrounding marketplaces.  Since then, he introduced innovations in the 

zone improving the quality of the bean and  the post harvest processings. Over six decades later our curiosity still  

nourishes the constant quest for  excellence  in the cup. Our passion bears within one  conviction: few places gather the best  climate, organic and soil conditions like Loja,  turning it doubtlessly in a privileged origin of  specialty coffee. Hacienda Santa Gertrudis dedicates it’s  effort, research and technology to select  the best beans from the best cultivars in the  province of Loja to assure quality in your cup.

The origin
Loja, located south to the Ecuadorian Andes,  covers vast territories that go from costal  plains to the oriental foothills of the mountain  range. The broad topography of the province   encompasses a wide variety of climatic floors  and ecosystems, in particular the ones located in  the inter-Andean valleys between 1200 to 2100  meters above sea level boast unique conditions  to produce world class coffees.
