Seventy three years ago, a young and dynamic Gabriel Kafati and his wife Elena had

a dream: to roast and grind coffee beans. In June of 1933, they began to make their
dream a reality. With the economic support of Don Gabriel’s father-in-law, Saleh Kafati,
he bought his first roasting machine. They began at dawn; roasting, grinding and hand-
packing their coffee to conserve its freshness and aroma. At 5:00 AM, Don Gabriel was
already knocking on the doors of businesses offering his coffee.

Due to his great effort and dedication, Don Gabriel was given a piece of land by his
father-in-law to build and install his factory in a more permanent place. This also was the
place where he settled his wife and three children Erlinda, Nicholas, and Oscar, in a
humble home. Doña Elena took advantage of the land surrounding the property to plant
and harvest vegetables which she later sold. In spite of the poverty that reigned in their
home, five more children were born: Kathy,Luisa, Estela, Marina, and Jesus. Due to the
slow coffee sales, Doña Elena installed a mill to grind corn, so she could help support
the family.
During the difficulties that reigned during World War II, Don Gabriel had to change his
gasoline powered roaster to a firewood one built by himself and Ramon Rosa
Valladares. He set a strict work routine for himself traveling constantly to El Paraíso, La
Paz, Marcala and other towns in search of coffee beans for his production. By truck or
by mule, he started in the wee hours of the morning returning late at night to start all
over the following day. During this period, his wife and children and two employees, took
over the roasting tasks.

After World War II, Café El Indio obtained its fame with the first radio commercial,
prepared by Humberto Andino of Radio Comayagüela. The hand-packing was
modernized with the acquisition of the first automatic packing machine. Later on, Don
Gabriel started Agricola de Oriente S.A., a farming entity, to plant and harvest his own
coffee beans. By 1957, Compañia Exportadora de Café S.A. (CECSA) was established
with the purpose of exporting coffee beans from his own farm. Today, CECSA has the
most modern equipment available in Latin America. In 1976, Gabriel Kafati and
Compañía introduced its gourmet vacuum-sealed export package, the first in Latin
America. At present, Gabriel Kafati S.A., CECSA and Agricola de Oriente combined,
offer jobs to 225 rural families rising to 2,000 families during the harvest season that
lasts from October to March of each year. During the 90s, and as part of Gabriel

Kafati’s policy of innovation, CAFÉ EL INDIO launched a new line of gourmet flavored
coffees, which at the date ranks among one of the finest gourmet coffees in Latin
America. In 2005, GABRIEL KAFATI, INC. was established in Florida, with the vision of
offering all of our premium quality coffee in North America.
