We're beyond excited to introduce our first coffee from Liliana Ramírez. She farms El Yolombo, a small finca tucked into the mountains of Anzá, Antioquia, where she cares for just 1,000 coffee trees.
We were introduced to her through our friends at Desarrolladores de Café, a Medellín-based exporter doing incredible work connecting small Colombian producers with roasters around the world. They air-freighted this coffee straight from Colombia to our roastery in Denver, giving us the chance to experience this harvest at its absolute freshest.
This lot is 100% Chiroso, one of Colombia's most exciting varieties, and it's processed using the traditional Tres Cochadas method. Because Liliana harvests every two weeks and typically picks over three consecutive days, each day's coffee is pulped after floating and combined, fermented together, and then washed together on the fourth day. It's a beautifully simple process that's been used by generations of smallholder Colombian farmers, and it produces a cup that's surprisingly layered, expressive, and incredibly clean.
As much as we love the coffee, it's Liliana's story that really stuck with us. Until recently, she split her time between tending her farm and cleaning apartments in the city. She told the Desarrolladores de Café team in 2025 that if they continued to work with her, she'd be able to move full time to her farm. And sure enough, for the 2026 harvest, she has been able to do so. For years, she didn't want anyone visiting or photographing El Yolombo because she felt the farm was too humble. Earlier this year, she invited the Desarrolladores de Café team to visit for the very first time and document the place she's worked so hard to build. We love that.
Coffee like this reminds us that investing in people doesn't just produce better coffee, it can create futures worth believing in.
Available in 100g bags while the coffee lasts ... or large format bags if you got da cash :)
