Theodore’s Coffee in Grand Rapids, Michigan

Theodore’s coffee was founded in early 2013 by Darwin Pavon. Theodore is Darwin Pavon’s grandfather’s name. Pavon in Spanish is Peacock, therefore the peacock feather on our logo.

Darwin is a Honduran native who spent most of his youth in the farms in Honduras. As an agronomist, he began developing customized fertilizers for coffee, melon, banana, and sugarcane farms through Honduras-based. Due to his success working with these farms, he earned an overseer position on a coffee-specific team that covered over 600 farms from Mexico to Colombia which allowed him to create long lasting relationships with the farmers he met along the way.

This is how Darwin met Israel Ventura. Ventura and his son, Lurvin, own and operate Finca El Playon
