When you enjoy a cup of specialty coffee, it's easy to focus on its flavor, aroma, and body. But behind every sip there is a story of effort, dedication and love for coffee. At DV Café Especial, every bean that reaches your cup has passed through the hands of passionate coffee growers who have dedicated their lives to cultivating exceptional coffee. Today we want to share some of those stories that make our coffee so special.
Growing among the coffee plantations: the legacy of the producers.
Our love for coffee didn't start at a fancy coffee shop or a professional tasting. It started in the mountains of Pitalito, Huila, where our families have grown coffee for generations. Since we were children we grew up surrounded by the sound of leaves swaying in the wind and the unmistakable smell of freshly picked coffee. We learned from our grandparents that quality is not a coincidence, but the result of a job well done.
When we founded Divino Café Especial in 2017, we did so with the conviction that we wanted to share with the world that exceptional coffee that we had known since childhood. Today we are lucky to work with coffee growers who share that same philosophy. People who, despite the challenges of the climate, the economy and the hard work in the field, continue to commit to producing coffee of the highest quality.
The faces behind specialty coffee
Each farm we work with has a unique story, but they all have something in common: a passion for coffee.
Nelson Cruz - La Planada Farm
Nelson Cruz - La Planada Farm Don Nelson is from the second generation of coffee growers and has worked for more than 35 years in coffee, together with his wife Adela and their three children, they have a strong family union with solid human values, which on their farm is a reflection of the effort and love for the land. Their farm has state-of-the-art benefit and fermentation processes that improve quality and allow it to be maintained in the different varieties of coffee throughout the year, something that all our clients and friends from different cities around the world surely agree with us.
Its specialty is the Caturra, Colombia variety and the Geisha variety, the latter famous for its floral and fruity notes. For Don Nelson, coffee is more than a product, it is a legacy that he wants to forge with his wife and children.
Germán Ortiz - Mi Terruño Farm
Germán Ortiz - Mi Terruño Farm Don Germán, along with his wife Teresa and their three daughters, on their farm is dedicated to the development of special coffee with traditional and exotic varieties. It manages high quality standards that allow it to obtain coffee of exceptional qualities, which is the result of years of dedication and arduous effort to standardize its harvesting, processing and drying processes of the grain and thus always guarantee quality. Its Bourbon Rosado coffee is characterized by its medium acidity, notes of red fruits and wine, in the same way the Bourbon Aji has been a great revelation in its notes which are unforgettable. We believe that every grain you grow carries your dedication and a piece of your history.
Alejandro Rojas - La Esperanza Farm
Alejandro Rojas - La Esperanza Farm Don Alejandro has a beautiful family with his wife Marisela and his daughter, a family that works as a team and united to delight us with their incredible coffee. With more than 20 years in coffee growing, he has dedicated himself to perfecting the artisanal anaerobic fermentation process. His microlots of Castillo Tambo coffee are harvested bean by bean by himself and he always takes care of every detail to highlight its sweetness, balanced and bright acidity. We believe that his and his family's commitment to offering the best quality possible is reflected in his coffee.
