El Dorado is run by father and son and is part of the cooperative ChocoVilcaMundo (CVM).

El Dorado Coffee Farm located in Loja-Ecuador was bought in 2017 by the Elder family. The Elders together with CVM worked together with a plan to grow almonds and then later decided after investigating the area to grow coffee instead. After finding the best seeds the Elder Family and CVM started growing award winning specialty coffee.

CVM is an Ecuadorian agricultural company owned by Bernard Uhe and his coffee growing family from Colombia.
The El Dorado specialty coffee farm is managed by the CVM family that comes from generations of coffee growers in the province of Ibague Colombia. Together with the

Ecuadorians who know the land we grow high elevation award winning arabica coffee in the Ecuadorian Andes.

What makes our coffee so good is the high elevation, good soil, mineral rich mountain water, high nutrient shade trees, 12 hours of sunlight year-round and the use of neem and

worm tea on the plants as a natural pesticide and fertiliser which increases the vitality of the coffee plant and coffee beans. This produces a delicious healthy cup of coffee.

El Dorado Farm grows 4 varieties of coffee, Green Geisha, WushWush, Yellow Geisha, SL28 and the farm is planting a 5 th variety of Sidra in 2024.

The farm has 4 micro lots:
Green Geisha micro lot 1 elevation is 1730 to 1830 meters.
