About Us
Sabor Coffee is a speciality importer, with deep roots in the rural heart of the coffee region of Colombia, serving customers in the UK.
As well as bringing coffee from our own farm, we now buy coffee directly from small-scale farmers whom we know and admire, and we bring it ourselves to the UK.
Familia Cuartas Alvarez
The Cuartas-Alvarez family have farmed this land, passing it from generation to generation, for more than 70 years. I took over the family farm in 2005, just before my father passed away. I have a huge affection for this land, the land where I was born and raised.
I grew up in Quinchia then spent time in London, where I ran my own restaurant. My professional experience within the London restaurant scene, where the speciality coffee culture has blossomed, inspired me to modify how we run the family farm. We embraced changes to our working practices so that now all our processes, from cultivation through harvesting, processing to drying, are entirely organic and sustainable. Our sister Liliana is in charge of the daily running of the farm.
As a family we believe that in life nothing has meaning unless you put passion into it. In our case our passion is for the production of an excellent quality coffee which showcases the flavour of this region. We now bring directly the UK not only the coffee from our farm, but coffee from carefully selected friends and neighbours in the area.
Our Mission
We are the third generation of the Cuartas Alvarez family to take on the stewardship of Finca Las Cruces. We are determined to carry forward our family tradition of sustainable agriculture, cultivating the highest quality coffee, combining this with our commitment to our local community by providing employment and supporting education projects for our workers and their families.
Friends
As a true Latin Family, we have our extended family that have been collaborating, working together for many years, complementing each other, having lots of fun, while working in the farm.
Transparency
As farmers we can share with you all the process, costs and procedures that are involve in getting our coffee from the plant to the cup.
Ethical
We know the balance of being kind to the land, this is why we have gone for an organic production by not using pesticides.
