Explore the tasting notes of a single origin specialty coffee sourced from Colombia freshly roasted in our coffee lab, at Meron Roastery. Here is some cool info about the coffee and the farm.

 

The farm/farmer

In 2011 the founders of the farm decided to start their lifes project: a coffee farm that would challenge the status quo of the coffee industry. They looked at over 100 farms throughout the first year, searching only for the perfect “ecotopo” that could meet the strict search criteria they had. In November of that year, finally finding a magical place, 18-hectares land that was used for cattle farming during the last 10 years: it was everything they dreamed of: mountain, forest, river and neighboring coffee growers.

The setup of the farm started right away: designed and built a state-of-the-art wet mill where they would be able to experiment with different processing methods, and an avant-garde coffee lab where all the sensory and physical analisis, roasting and cupping of every coffee would be performed.

About the coffee

By working collaboratively with more than 100 coffee-growing families located within a 10km radius of our farm, they buy and process exceptional coffee cherries while controlling every step of the process.

The program is designed to offer their neighboring coffee-growing families various different benefits (monetary and non-monetary) that help incentivize them to become an active part of this industry and to revitalise the coffee-growing culture in our region

In their own words: ”Our story is inspired by our passion for change! we can’t help ourselves. We imagine a better world, with better coffee and better practices. And for as long as “better” exists, we have made this our calling.
