How did the whole collaboration with Sebastian come about? No, it wasn't just another purchase through an importer. We met for the first time last year in March at the coffee festival in Bratislava, where a nice guy from Colombia, unknown to us, stopped by our stand and asked for coffee from his friend Edwin Norena - Oompa Loompa. We quickly started talking and agreed that we would enjoy the coffee together that he and the baby from Chicas had brought.

The next day, we went through all the cuppings from other importers together, and despite the subtle language barrier, we sat down right away.

Later, we met again at the WOC in Athens with his friend Roger Zapata, and it was there that we agreed that we would cooperate for a long time and that the next harvest we would take three coffees from his offer - infused / washed / cm mossto.

We left the selection of coffees to Sebastian, because trust is the most important thing in a long-term relationship - what happened to us in 7 months at the roastery only confirmed this.
