In a sheltered corner of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, where the sun's rays delicately caress the green leaves of coffee trees, a story that transcends the unmistakable aroma of Colombian coffee ends. Here, in this limited edition, the threads of welcomes and farewells intertwine, weaving a timeless narrative that reaches your hands in this coffee bag.

In the loom of our farm's history, in 2016, we gave the green light to the planting of a new variety of coffee: the typica variety. This is one of the oldest varieties in the world and differs from the Café Isabelita you already know in its floral notes, jasmine, citronella, with silky body, along with sweet notes of pollen. This limited edition is not only the last harvest of this typica variety, it is a poem in each bean, an ode to the effort and passion that has impregnated our farms since the day we decided to challenge the frontiers of convention. Each bag, marked and numbered by hand, carries with it the weight of exclusivity, the essence of something that will never be repeated.

This limited edition marks the end of a cycle, but also the beginning of a new era, with special varieties that would open the doors to a world unknown to us. We learned with each harvest, with each bean that we took in our hands and processed until it reached your cup of coffee. However, as with everything in life, the time came to say farewell.

Although this farewell leaves us with a bittersweet taste in our hearts, it leaves us a gift: this limited edition of typica variety, with only fifty-four kilos of dry parchment coffee, which translates into approximately 100 half-pound bags, with the seal of the ephemeral, of the unrepeatable, of a farewell.

 


 

This project, which spanned seven years of effort and dedication, not only marked our capacity to compete on a world level with Colombian coffee from the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, but also revealed the beauty of the unexplored. Never before had we allowed ourselves to plant, process and harvest something so different, so personal - and that is why this farewell is so emotional for us. The typica variety is unknown to many because it was always destined for export, and now it becomes something intimate, something we claim as our own. We are forging our brand, not only in the market, but in the hearts of those who appreciate the dedication we imbue in every step of this journey.

In this final farewell to the last harvest of a typica variety, a door closes, but at the same time a spectacular window into the future opens. Our company now allows the arrival of new varieties to our lands that, although they might take several years to manifest, are already emerging as the protagonists of our next coffee epic.

This farewell, far from being melancholic, is a hymn to the cycles of life. In each bean that is picked, in each bag that we seal, we recognize that farewells can be the prelude to new and exciting welcomes. Our farm is not just a place of cultivation; it is a canvas on which we paint the colors of innovation and perseverance.

Thus, with this limited edition of the latest harvest of the typica variety, we close a chapter and open the blank pages of what is to come. In this sheltered corner, where earth and coffee merge in an eternal dance, we celebrate not only what was, but what will be.

I hate marketing

I hate marketing. I hate it. I hate it -- because it works. You see, I'm getting married in seven months (yay me! Check out our wedding website ), and I need to do all the planning here in Germany for a wedding taking place in the Caribbean coast of Colombia. It does seem like a challenge, but I am an amazing planner and I can do it. Also, my mom and sister/Maid of Honor have it all under control. But, as I said, since I'm in Germany, there are many things I need to do online. So I have to rely on websites to kinda figure out what I want. Before I went online, I took advice from my good friend Hope (who also recently married) and closed my eyes and imagined my perfect wedding. This is what my perfect wedding looks like: At the beach, hopefully getting our feet wet while saying "I do", at sunset, with only our closest family and friends (so, no more than 20 people), drinking piña coladas and eating fish and coconut rice, listening to soothing background music a...

Find someone who makes you laugh

When I was 16, I had a boyfriend. One of my mom's friends, very close to the family and for whom I cared very much, once asked me (in front of my mom) if said boyfriend made me laugh. In trying to be bold and mature and, well, in trying to surprise and scare my mom, I said, "Well, yeah, kinda. But most importantly, he is awesome in bed!" I was lying, in case anyone is freaking out. My mom was (and probably is again now) freaking out. Her friend simply said, "Whatever, that is not important. What is important is that he makes you laugh. That is the most important thing: to be with someone who makes you laugh." This is perhaps the best piece of advice I have ever been given. Be with someone who makes you laugh . Because, the thing is, this not only refers to sex partners. This is true for life, and for everyone in your life. In my life. In counting my friends, I realize we laugh a lot together. Bear in mind that most my friends are English majors, like me; so ou...

I'm Average

I think there is nothing worse in life than being average. That is actually my biggest fear - well, right alongside the crocodiles under my bed finally eating my toes, and the guy sitting in the corner of the living room walking towards me. There are (thank god) no monsters in my closet. No, but seriously: I am terrified of being average! I think it is terrible to get lost in the masses. Especially now that the masses have reached 7 BILLION (and according to the BBC World Citizen Counter I am number four billion six hundred ninety-seven million six hundred and one thousand eight hundred twenty). I mean, we have got to find a way to stand out. But then again, if all us, if all seven billion of us try to stand out, we will, ironically, not. So I guess some, the majority, would have to actively NOT stand out in order for a few of us to do something *special* that will differentiate us (whether positively or negatively is up to each of us) from the rest. It's not easy. And that'...
