My connection to Colombian specialty coffee

I'm Colombian and grew up among the coffee plants on my parents' farm. Since childhood, I witnessed how high-quality Arabica coffee was sown, harvested by hand, pulped, washed, dried, and packaged. Unfortunately, due to the low coffee prices at the time, my family stopped growing coffee and moved into another business.

Today, I live in Berlin and, with my roastery , dedicate myself entirely to Colombian specialty coffee. Coffee roasting has rekindled my connection to my homeland and my childhood.

I process exclusively socially and ecologically sustainable coffee , with a focus on fair payment for coffee farmers . My goal is to keep the supply chain as short as possible – ideally with only one intermediary or through direct trade .

In Colombia, coffee is mostly grown by smallholder farmers in harmony with nature. The coffee plants grow in mixed crops with bananas, citrus fruits, and shade trees that protect the soil and regulate the microclimate. The coffee is grown on mountain slopes where machinery is rarely used—therefore, each coffee cherry is carefully picked by hand.

Many farmers avoid using pesticides or chemical fertilizers, not only out of conviction but also out of economic necessity. This creates coffee-typical aromas with a rich sense of character and provenance.

I only work with coffee partners who share the same values ​​– clearly defined standards in sustainable coffee imports , transparency and responsibility along the entire value chain.
