Experience the essence of sustainable coffee farming from Colombia and Guatemala with our Mini Roots Coffee Collection. These 150g (per coffee) packs are a perfect introduction to the vibrant flavors and rich stories behind each single-origin coffee, sourced directly from three exceptional farmers.

• Javier Gasca - Biochar (Colombia) - Javier has farmed coffee for over 30 years in El Naranjal, in southern Huila, Colombia. On his two-hectare farm, El Limón (1,450–1,600 m.a.s.l.), he grows Colombia, Cenicafé 1, and Castillo Tambo. Coffee farming is a family tradition and his life’s work, with harvest still centered on hand-selecting ripe cherries. He uses a washed process with 24-hour fermentation and slow sun-drying in a marquesina. With a focus on quality and sustainability, Javier practices low-intervention farming and recently joined the Biochar Program, improving soil health, resilience, and environmental impact.

• Fanny Velandia (Colombia) – Fanny Velandia and her family moved to the small town of Cachipay, Colombia, nearly a decade ago, where they began managing a small coffee farm as a way to support themselves and connect with their new community. Over time, that unexpected opportunity grew into a full-time passion. At their farm, San Bernardo—planted with Castillo, Colombia, and Pink Bourbon varieties—Fanny, her husband, and their children now oversee everything from cultivation to roasting, with a focus on quality and care at every step.  Farming at 1600 meters above sea level, the family tends their land with intention—composting, collecting rainwater, and growing a mix of fruit trees alongside coffee to keep the farm diverse and healthy. The result is a coffee that reflects years of steady work, thoughtful decisions, and a deep connection to place.

• Francisco Morales (Guatemala) For over 40 years, Francisco Morales and his wife have cared for La Esperanza, a coffee farm in the hills of Cipresales, Huehuetenango. What began with humble challenges has grown into a thriving farm that supports their family and provides steady work for the local community. True to its name, La Esperanza (“The Hope”) reflects their belief in coffee as a path to opportunity. Always eager to learn, Francisco continues to refine his craft, earning recognition and awards at the Huehuetenango Highland competitions. This year, he introduced shade nets during drying to better control moisture, enhance flavor, and extend shelf life—innovation that shines through in every cup.
