The bean
Specialty
Coffee
High-altitude Arabica grown, processed, and roasted between 1,600 and 2,000 metres above sea level — in mountains cooled by currents between the Farallones del Citará and Cerro Plateado, moderated by Pacific breezes.
The pod
Fine‑Flavor
Cacao
Criollo cacao recognised by the ICCO for its rare sensory qualities. Fermentation above 60%, humidity below 7.5%, fat content over 48% — fruity, floral, nutty and spicy notes built through controlled fermentation and solar drying.
What we do
Six ways we
move origin forward
From a single traceable microlot to a full container with documentation handled end to end — every service is built on the same three commitments: verified origin, verified quality, verified compliance.
Consistently above 83 SCA
Every lot cupped and validated by certified Q graders. End-to-end traceability, verified organic standards, and direct producer partnerships.
Colombia's heritage in every bean
Criollo fine-flavor cacao with controlled fermentation and solar drying. Nibs, liquor, butter and powder available, all traceable.
Exclusive, traceable, unforgettable
86+ SCA microlots from Finca Alba Export in Balboa, Risaralda — fermentation controlled by temperature, pH and °Brix for replicable profiles.
Roasted in Colombia, delivered to you
Custom roast levels and packaging formats, roasted at source to preserve authentic flavour and cut supply-chain emissions.
Fine-flavor ingredients for industry
Nibs, cacao liquor, cacao butter and non-alkalized powder — consistent, traceable, and optimised for automated production lines.
Streamlined exports, stronger producers
Documentation, certifications, EUDR compliance and freight coordination to Europe, Asia and North America — handled end to end.
Our process
How we work,
step by step
Three stages, one standard. Nothing leaves origin until it has passed the stage before it.
01
Sourcing the beans
Beans are harvested from rich grounds located in Valledupar/Cesar, Colombia.
02
Picking with precision
Only the best beans are selected for export to offer the best taste possible.
03
Pulped and prepared
Beans go through a pulping stage, which leaves us with clean cacao beans.
Selection at origin
We work directly with farming communities across Colombia — Sierra Nevada, Huila, Cauca, Nariño, Santander, Antioquia, and the Coffee Axis.
Quality control
Each lot undergoes rigorous cupping and analysis by certified Q graders; cacao is assessed for fermentation and fat content.
Documentation & compliance
Full support to meet EU, Asia, and North America import requirements — including EUDR deforestation-free traceability.
Our community
Producers at
the core of our model
Every bean carries the possibility of change: it sustains families, protects biodiversity, and inspires conscious consumption around the world.
Our coffee embodies the natural richness and agricultural heritage of this unique region. Each cherry is harvested by hand to ensure optimal ripeness and consistency. We work hand in hand with producer organisations and their families — Indigenous and farming communities who cultivate under biodiverse systems that sustain and restore their territories.
Why choose us
Superior performance
guided by integrity
By choosing us, you are investing in a consistent, reliable supply of one of the world's most sought-after coffee origins. We handle the complexities of international logistics and quality control so you can focus on what you do best: roasting and serving exceptional coffee.
Sustainability Commitment
Each bean is cultivated with practices that emphasize soil regeneration and responsible water use in Colombia's coffee region.
Premium Quality Criteria
Only beans that satisfy our strict standards for size and density are selected for our collection.
High-Altitude Depth
We select beans grown above 1,500 metres, where slower ripening enhances sugar development and creates a richer, more layered flavour profile.
