The Beginning
We started as a small farm in Colombia in 2017 on a mission to demonstrate that coffee can be produced in harmony with nature and respecting the people who produce it.
Now, more small farms are joining!
German-Colombian project
In Germany our home is in the city of Kiel, way up in the north by the sea. In Colombia our home is in the mountains of the Andes, in Filandia Quindio.
We are a female owned business contributing to fight inequality, poverty, climate change and biodivesity loss.

PLANET B
WE ENVISION A FUTURE...
Where people and planet are more important than profit.
Where the supply chain is purpose driven and creates benefits for all actors/stakeholders equally, we believe in collaboration rather than competition.
Where we as humans use our natural resources with intention and not in a careless way.
Where nature and humans co-exist in harmony.
WE ARE OPTIMISTIC
AND BELIEVE...
That we must act collectively now and be the change we want to see in the world.
That with our products and practices we can contribute to fight inequality, poverty and biodiversity loss and so heal the nature little by little.
That good things need time and must be enjoyed with intention.
TO FULFILL THIS
VISION IT REQUIRES...
Courage to act, change only happens if we take action.
Understanding that we are all dependent upon another, interconnected with others, with the people, with our nature, with our ecosystems and the animals who live in them and thus responsible for our impact.
