Continuing her fathers' coffee legacy

Sara and María Paula Tobón are sisters united by a shared passion for coffee and a deep connection to the farm where they grew up. From an early age, they learned alongside their father and grandfather, who passed down generations of knowledge about coffee cultivation and processing.

Before returning to the farm full-time, Sara built a career as an environmental microbiologist in Medellín. In 2024, she made the decision to leave her profession behind and dedicate herself entirely to coffee, joining forces with her sister María Paula to continue their family's legacy while exploring new ways to produce exceptional specialty coffees.

Today, the sisters combine tradition, science, and curiosity to continuously refine their processes and express the full potential of their farm. Through every lot they produce, Sara and María Paula hope to honor the work of Colombian coffee growers, showcase the value of agriculture, and inspire a new generation to see coffee as both a meaningful livelihood and an opportunity for innovation.

About the farm

Sara and Maria's farm is, quite literally, a gold mine—her house was built beneath an actual gold mine. Her father saw potential in the land and decided to plant coffee trees, as the region is known for large-scale coffee production. With efficiency in mind, he designed the processing infrastructure to be as simple and streamlined as possible, ensuring easy handling and fast processing.

Now, Sara, his eldest daughter, wants to take over the farm. However, her biggest challenge lies in transforming this large-scale operation into a specialty coffee and micro-lot processing facility, all while working with the existing tools and infrastructure.
