This coffee is clean and delicate and represents the incredible know-how and processing skills that Colombian coffee farmers possess. The coffee is rewarding and conducive to contemplation. Expect subtle notes of peach, herbaceous and caramel.

Alfredo Rojas was born into a family dedicated to coffee production. His father gave him a small plot of land, awakening Alfredo's commitment to growing his own coffee.

Today, he runs his farm, El Sinai, with his wife, Yolanda Guevara Rojas, and their daughter, Viviana Sofía Rojas Guevara, a natural resource management technologist. For Alfredo, coffee cultivation is not just a profession, but a way of life in harmony with nature. " I am a coffee farmer, dedicated not only to growing a product, but also to building a sustainable future," he says.
