My Connection to Colombian Specialty Coffee

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

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

I exclusively process socially and ecologically sustainable coffee, prioritizing 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 cultivation with bananas, citrus fruits, and shade trees, which protect the soil and regulate the microclimate. Cultivation takes place on mountain slopes, where machines can hardly be used – therefore, every coffee cherry is carefully hand-picked.

Many farmers do not use pesticides or chemical fertilizers, not only out of conviction but also out of economic necessity. This results in coffee-typical aromas with great character and origin.

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