We’re a close-knit team of four, with three of us proudly from Huila, Colombia, and one from Europe. Growing up in the region, we have long-standing connections with many of the farmers we work with—some are family, others old friends, and a few we’ve gotten to know recently through trusted word of mouth. Our European teammate brings in a insight into the specialty coffee market, helping us connect farmers with roasters. We strive to be a valuable intermediary between farmers and roasters, bringing traceability, stories, regular updates and honesty to the coffee trade business.
