As Priscilla cultivates her children’s passion for upholding their family’s lineage of coffee excellence, she fosters their commitment to protect the pristine quality of their ancestral land, ensuring their capability to produce remarkable coffees will flourish, as a means of preserving their beloved way of life — both the land and coffee allow — for generations to come.
