Colombian coffee for roasters and coffee shops in Japan.

Where it grows

Every star sits at the coordinate the coffee actually grew at, and its size is the altitude.

The farms

Small farms in Valle del Cauca, each one named, mapped and measured. Their coffees are the samples available today, not a closed catalogue.

Madrigal

Alcalá, Valle del Cauca

Carlos Ortiz received Madrigal six years ago, a coffee farm gone to neglect after the pandemic, its plots overgrown and its trees old. Working with his family, he renewed the coffee lots year by year and restored the farmhouse in guadua, in keeping with the tradition it was built for, while reforesting the streams that feed it. The renewal grew into agrotourism too — rural lodging for visiting travelers and, so far, more than 89 bird species recorded on the property. Coffee is Carlos's own calling rather than an inheritance: Madrigal is his family's first generation as coffee growers, and he has represented Colombia as a guest producer abroad, including an invited appearance in Chihuahua, Mexico.

El Porvenir

Bugalagrande, Valle del Cauca

El Porvenir has been in María Del Pilar Espinal's family since her father, a muleteer originally from Antioquia, settled in the vereda La Morena and planted its first coffee. María Del Pilar grew up on the land among coffee trees, fruit orchards and forest, and after some difficult years away, returned to rebuild the farm herself. She has turned it into a reference for clean production, grown with organic fertilizers made on the farm itself, leads the smallholder association ASOMORENA — which she helped open up to women producers running their own microlots — and created the Café Dorado Galicia brand, carrying her family's coffee tradition forward with a modern, ecological approach. She trained in social communication before becoming the agricultural entrepreneur she is today, specializing in exotic coffee varietals.

How we work

Four steps, from your profile to a first lot. The origin we know first-hand; the route to Japan we build with each partner.

  1. We listen Your profile
  2. We search Valle del Cauca
  3. We cup together Sample rounds
  4. A first lot A pilot shipment

With you Step 1 of 4

We listen

We start with the profile you are looking for: variety, process, score range and volume. That tells us what to go and find.

At origin Step 2 of 4

We search

We visit small farms in Valle del Cauca, get to know the people who work them, and select the lots that answer your profile.

With you Step 3 of 4

We cup together

We send samples for you to cup at your own table, then adjust the selection to your assessment.

Toward Japan Step 4 of 4

A first lot

A first pilot shipment with logistics partners who specialise in coffee, on a timeline we agree with you realistically. The route to Japan is something we build with each partner.

About the project

Sorandino is a new project, born in Cali.

We are building direct relationships with small producers in Valle del Cauca, and looking for our first partners in Japan: roasters and coffee shops to grow with over the long term. We are starting small on purpose, with a few farms we know up close.
