  „"I'm really not sure that specialty coffee is the solution for the average grower," said Carlos Mejia, one of three brothers who own the plant.

  „“Private label has been around a long time, but I think it’s been classified as branding for a lot of roasteries,” Lusareta said. “But I think the way it’s changing is roasters, such as our company and others, are realizing that you’ve got to do something to help your customer. And by promoting their name on the label and helping them brand themselves is the way I think the business is actually changing.“
