Embracing Tradition, Cultivating Excellence
Nestled in the heart of San Rafael Calería, at 1,100 meters above sea level, lies our cherished family farm. Over the past three and a half years, we've embarked on a transformative journey to revive this once-neglected land, driven by a deep passion for coffee and a commitment to sustainability.
Our home, a cozy cabin amidst the coffee plantations, offers a daily panorama of natural beauty. Here, each day begins with the promise of connection to the earth and the rewarding challenge of producing specialty coffee microlots. Our focus on meticulous cultivation and processing techniques ensures that every bean embodies exceptional flavors and aromas, a testament to our dedication.
The journey has not been without its challenges, but the joy of seeing our farm flourish is unparalleled. We celebrate the revival of the land, now teeming with life, as we nurture varietals like Colombia and Costa Rica 95 under the natural canopy of vanillo, citrus, and endemic trees. Our organic practices, coupled with careful drying on African beds and storage in grainpro-lined jute bags, underscore our commitment to quality and sustainability.
Our efforts culminated in a National win at the 2021 Cup of Excellence, a proud moment that reflects the peak of flavor and aroma our microlots achieve. Beyond the farm, we cherish the connections made with fellow coffee enthusiasts, sharing knowledge, experiences, and the sheer joy of coffee.
Living and working on this farm has taught us the true value of passion, determination, and the beauty of following one's dream. As we continue to craft specialty coffee, we invite you to share in the essence of an exceptional cup, a reflection of our family's journey and the vibrant community of San Rafael Calería.
