At our Biodynamic Farm La Fortaleza, our pilot research farm, we have been able to demonstrate and validate that high productivity and quality are possible. Through research, the use of biotechnology that preserves the natural ecosystem and through training of coop members on best farming practices, leading the way for sustainable coffee farming in the region.

Our Story

We’re Josue L. Castro-Mejia and Daniel Estrada, passionate food scientists with over 15 years of experience in food research across Denmark and the U.S. Our roots run deep in two of Honduras’ coffee-growing regions—Copán and Montaña de la Flor—where our parents and grandparents have cultivated coffee.

For years, we’ve loved sharing roasted beans, sourced directly from the farmers we know and trust, with our family and friends. That interest and curiosity led us to dive deeper into the science of taste and aroma formation through coffee fermentation, collaborating in pilot trials with local growers. Along the way, we witnessed firsthand the dedication that goes into crafting remarkable microlots, but also saw the challenges these growers face in reaching coffee lovers like you with their very own brands and roasts.

That’s why we started CAFERA—to bridge that gap and make exceptional roasted beans more accessible. Our mission is simple: connect you directly to coffee producers around the world so you can experience truly cherry-to-cup coffee. By building a community-driven platform, we’re not only bringing you incredible coffee but also supporting producers through better economic opportunities, coffee research, sustainability efforts, and social development.

Crafted with Care and Vision

CAFERA is a Danish online platform where you can buy origin-roasted coffee beans that are sourced directly from the growers. This gives you access to diverse high-quality roasted coffee while the growers earn a fair profit for their craft.

Price to your Door

CAFERA handles 100% of the logistics. By building a strong community, we have established partnerships with select shipping companies to ensure fast pickup directly from the coffee farmer and delivery to your door. The price you see is for shipping to your door.

The Good Price

Having CAFERA as a partner, farmers don't need to sell their specialty coffees to local middlemen or auctions at deeply unfair prices. Instead, they can focus on everything they are really good at and passionate about. Thus, when we source coffee together as a community and directly from the producer, you get closer to the farm and buy exceptional coffee at a great price point.
