We have an established years-long, ongoing collaboration with Racafé, a Colombian coffee exporter that helps our partner coffee producers export their coffees. Thanks to them, we have worked with incredible people throughout our journey.

Racafé created CRECER, a project in Vianí, Cundinamarca. It is a collection centre where 90 producers from Vianí and neighbouring towns bring their processed coffee. If they lack processing facilities, the collection centre will dry the wet coffee, which subsequently undergoes a 48-hour fermentation.

Sr. Joseel is a second generation coffee producer, and the manager of CRECER’S collection centre. Among the contributing producers, are Jaime Guerrero from Finca Santa Rosa; Cesar Acosta from Finca El Refugio, where avocado trees provide shade to the coffee plants and complement Jaime’s income; and Julio & Jasmine Alfonso from Finca El Respaldo.

For what it represents, we believe this is the perfect coffee for this season: a time for giving, coming together, and helping each other.

Ideal for sipping a comforting cup while making your gathering arrangements, wrapping presents or after your holiday meal in the company of your loved ones.

Roasted for espresso, the fruity and sweet notes of the most recent harvest will make you think of those flavours reminiscent of the holidays.
