The Aguilera Brothers are a set of Cup of Excellence–winning siblings who carry on
their longtime family tradition by working together to plant, pick, and process
coffees from their combined 60 hectares of farmland: Their father was one of the
first to plant coffee in this area in the 1940s. The 12 Aguilera brothers and sisters
divide the work among themselves, with two of the brothers, Felipe and Erasmo,
overseeing most of the mill operation as well as the drying areas. The family typically hires around 40–100 pickers from the same families every year, depending on the size of the harvest, and Erasmo describes a unique approach to paying the pickers: The
Aguileras pay higher prices for green cherry than they do for buckets of red, as a
way of incentivizing the pickers to do an exquisite sort when they bring their cherry
to be weighed.
