This coffee comes from the Planadas region of Colombia, where Aleyda Reinoso Rivera runs Finca El Oasis.

Aleyda and her husband didn’t decide to produce coffee by chance – she chose coffee due to her passion for the land, the love she has for coffee, and because she wants, someday, to produce the best coffee in the world.

While she’s been producing coffee for 10 years, it was only four years ago that she decided to focus more attention and care on her coffee trees and pay more attention to the quality of processes at farm level. She believes Finca El Oasis is a privileged piece of land due to its altitude, climate, and the panoramic views from her farm.

When she produced her very first micro-lot (a lot of coffee which is high quality and able to sold to quality-focussed specialty coffee roasters), she was proud to see her farm’s progress and that she was now producing excellent coffee.

Her short-term plans are to continue producing excellent quality coffees and reinvest in her farm to improve her infrastructure, upgrade her drying station and improve her family home.

How is your coffee ethically sourced?

We source our coffee from small producers through responsible importing companies. 95% of our green coffee beans are supplied by Caravela Coffee, Cafe Imports, and Melbourne Coffee Merchants (certified B Corporations) plus Condesa Co Lab and more.

We transparently share all the information about each coffee lot (territory of origin, producer, variety, processing method, importer, quality grade) on each coffee page. This includes blend components for our espresso blends.

We take quality sourcing very seriously, so being fully transparent about our coffee is a way to honour everyone’s efforts along the production and gain the trust of ethical-minded consumers.

Learn more about our coffee and business philosophy.

Do you roast dark or light?

We roast our single origins using omni medium/light profiles. (This means you can use it for pour over and espresso brewing, no need to buy different bean bags with specific roast styles.)

We roast our espresso blends using darker profiles.

What is “specialty coffee”?

The definitions and references to specialty coffee are changing.

Historically, and as most people think of it these days, specialty coffee is Arabica beans that score over 80 in the old Specialty Coffee Association point scale. Today, the SCA refers to specialty coffee as “a coffee or coffee experience that is recognized for its distinctive attributes, resulting in a higher value within the marketplace.”

Can I subscribe?

Absolutely. Our coffee subscription lets you get your favourite beans (for filter and espresso, black or milk drinks) delivered regularly for free and with no lock-in periods.
