El Socorro has consistently secured top finished in the Cup of Excellence competition, including winning 1st place four times with their Gesha. Finca El Socorro was originally part of Hacienda San Guayaba. In 1968, Dr. Mario de la Cerda and his wife, Maria Colom de la Cerda, reclaimed the property for the family. In 1980, their son, Juan de la Cerda Colom, began cultivating coffee, marking the start of a legacy now carried forward by the fourth generation. Today, Juan de la Cerda and his son, Juan Diego, are dedicated to continuing to produce some of the best coffees in the world.

Maracaturra is a rare hybrid varietal of Caturra and Maragogipe, known for its exceptionally large beans and distinctive flavor complexity. This coffee is fully washed, and El Socorro utilizes an innovative wet-milling process incorporating hot water to accelerate and standardize fermentation, followed by careful drying on patios and in greenhouses to preserve the coffee’s clarity, delicate florals, and bright fruit character.
