IT ALL STARTS AT THE COFFEE FARM
The Sánchez family’s coffee legacy began with Yoiner’s grandfather, who moved from Cundinamarca to Caicedonia near Colombia’s Coffee Triangle. Displaced by 1940s violence, he carried coffee seeds to Palestina, planting them in 1949. Over time, the family thrived, particularly Orlando, who became a respected community leader and served as Palestina’s mayor in 1995 and 2000. Today, the original farm is managed by his siblings Durley, Marisela, and Rigoberto, while Orlando runs his own farm. The Sánchez family remains influential in Huila’s specialty coffee scene, partnering with LaREB to sustain and uplift Colombian coffee communities. Yoiner, in his 40s, represents the new generation, focusing on quality and strengthening ties with LaREB. Their dedication aligns with LaREB’s mission to preserve and prosper coffee-growing regions.

HOW DID WE ROAST THIS COFFEE?
This coffee is being roasted by Ian T. from Aug 11 to Sept 5 in Brooklyn. We use the Loring Kestrel roaster for this profile. We have strict guidelines for each of the coffee profiles, and this roast has to pass the development time ratio test as measured in real-time by the roasting software, Cropster. Once it does, it is approved for production.
QUALITY CONTROL
We perform Quality Control via a process of coffee tasting called cupping on all of our production roasts once a week at our roastery in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Each cupping is conducted by Ian T., Anu M., and Suyog M. using standard equipment, and is logged by our Q-certified cupper Ian T. All coffees are evaluated on a scoring scale of 0 to 3.
- 3.0 = exceptional roast - exceeds expectations
- 2.5 = on par with profile - matches expectations
- 2.0 = good roast, but 1 or 2 elements could be improved - needs improvement
- 1.5 or lower = failed - do not ship
PRODUCTION AND SHIPPING
Less than 24 hours after roasting, we bag your coffee in our production facility in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Our production team is led by Torie, and supported by a rotating cast of local artists, musicians and independent professionals.
