Solis & Cordero is a family-run project led by veteran producer Iván Gerardo Solís Rivera and his wife Leandra Cordero. After more than 20 years of experience in coffee cultivation, processing, and quality control, Iván established Beneficio Santa Fe in 2018 to process his own coffees and to provide services for smallholders in the Santos region. The family manages several farms—including Finca Santa Maria, Cuatro Vientos (1,650 masl, 6 ha), and Finca Voo—and focuses on high-altitude cultivation of Catuai and Caturra. Their portfolio ranges from traditional honeys and naturals to experimental fermentations (anaerobic processes of 72–92h, extended fermentations up to 144h, and cinnamon infusions), developed in collaboration with CormaCafe (Brazil) through their Selvatech fermentation inputs. This blend of tradition, family involvement, and innovative processing makes Solis & Cordero a key name in Costa Rican specialty coffee. Finca Cuatro Vientos Is 6-hectare farm located at 1,650 masl in Santa Maria de Dota, Tarrazú, is owned and managed by Solsiré Solís Cordero, daughter of Iván and Leandra. Representing the next generation of the Solis & Cordero family project, the farm reflects their commitment to producing and processing exceptional coffees while also supporting fellow Costa Rican smallholders through shared knowledge, innovation, and infrastructure.
