In the village of Guanacas, in the heart of Inzá, lived Jesús María Polanco Arias, a farmer passionate about his land and his coffee plantation at El Pencil. Since he could remember, the scent of freshly ground coffee filled every corner of his home. His parents, dedicated farmers, involved him in the fieldwork during school vacations, teaching him the value of hard work and love for the land.

As time went on, Jesús María became a teacher but never set aside his small coffee farm. He tended to it with care, applying what he learned in the classroom and sharing with his students the importance of coffee in local culture. However, it was when he retired from teaching that he decided to dedicate all his time to his passion.

Years passed, and Jesús María attended workshops offered by the coffee growers' committee, where he discovered new cultivation and processing techniques. With enthusiasm, he implemented everything he learned on his farm, growing varieties such as Caturra Común, Castillo Tambo, Cenicafé 1, and Gesha. Each plant became a challenge and a motivation for him to keep learning.

The day of the coffee competition arrived. Jesús María was nervous but also excited. He had worked tirelessly, and he knew his efforts had borne fruit. With every sip of the coffee he had prepared, the judges could feel the dedication and love he had put into each harvest. He was not just competing for a prize; he was paying tribute to his family, his roots, and the land that had nurtured him.

When the judges announced the winners, Jesús María heard his name resonate in the air. A mix of pride and emotion washed over him. It was not just a trophy; it was recognition of years of hard work and his family's legacy. In that moment, he realized that his love for coffee had not only transformed his life but also allowed the aroma of his land to reach other corners of the world.

From that day on, El Pencil was not just a place of work, but a symbol of perseverance and passion for coffee—a legacy that Jesús María would continue to share with new generations.
