Best for a Balanced Espresso

Hola! My name is Luis Velazquez, but my friends call me Lucho.

I’m from Playa Rica, a small village in the mountains of Colombia. I inherited my family’s farm when I was 11 years old, after life changed in ways I didn’t expect. Today, at 15, I grow coffee, avocados, and bananas, while going to school.

It hasn’t been easy. Farmers like me are often forced to sell our coffee for unfair prices. But I’m not giving up. My dream is to see my coffee reach Europe, and thanks to The Red Mountain, I’m even learning English. (Scan the QR to hear me speak!)

My coffee is 100% Arabica, grown with love, patience, and deep respect for the land.

I drink it every morning, black and without sugar, just the way my grandmother makes it—because she is the sweetness in my life.

My coffee has smooth, bright cup with floral notes and hints of berries, chocolate, and honey. Perfect for a balanced espresso or a clean filter brew

Gracias Lucho,
