WHOLE BEAN COFFEE

This micro-lot comes from Marleyi Córdoba in Los Robles, San Agustín, Huila, Colombia. This is our second year buying Marleyi's coffee through our import partner, Semilla. Her journey into specialty coffee hasn’t been easy, marked by family tragedy, extreme climate challenges, and the heavy responsibility of running a farm as a woman in a male-dominated industry. But her persistence and determination led her to plant new varieties, refine her processing, and carve out a place in the specialty market. This prized lot is the result of that perseverance - a sweet, easy drinking pink bourbon that is SO GOOD!
This is the coffee you turn to when you need a moment of quiet. It delivers a rich and comforting experience that lets you fully immerse yourself in your coffee ritual. With the richness of milk chocolate, praline, cinnamon and a citrus finish, it’s the perfect cup to savour on your own, whether you’re easing into the morning or taking a well-deserved pause in your day.
By choosing this coffee, you’re tasting an exceptional Colombian coffee and you’re supporting a producer who embodies resilience and grit.

About the Producer: Marleyi Córdoba
Marleyi’s story is one of persistence against all odds. Her family migrated from Cauca to San Agustín when she was a child, but early attempts at coffee failed due to the farm’s cold, high-altitude climate. At just seven years old, Marleyi’s childhood was shaped by hardship, and by her teenage years, she had left school to find work in nearby cities.
In 2018, a family tragedy brought her back: her brother passed away suddenly, and soon after, her father abandoned the farm. With her mother, Marleyi took over full responsibility for running El Diviso, something still uncommon for women in Colombia. To survive, Marleyi turned to the practice of “jornal al cambio”, which involves working one day on other farms and then returning to her own farm to work the next.
Despite the difficulties, Marleyi fought to grow the farm. She negotiated for another hectare, planted the Tabi variety, and began investing in specialty coffee, inspired and supported by her friend Jhon Jairo Gomez. Since then, she has worked tirelessly to refine her processing, expand her facilities, and plant new Pink Bourbon trees. This current offering represents Marleyi's pink bourbon harvest, which is phenomenal.
Today, Marleyi is not only producing beautiful coffees like this El-Diviso pink bourbon micro-lot, but also claiming her space in the specialty market, a remarkable achievement in light of everything she’s faced.

I love my coffee in the morning, and sometimes well into the afternoon. There was a local company I was purchasing from that had amazing coffee until they sold out to a large corporation. And so I started my investigation for a new coffee. I drink my coffee black and I like it to be strong and not bitter. I originally purchased the sampler and really enjoyed this particular coffee, and so i purchased more. I am happy to say the quality was the same as the sampler, delivery was fast and the packaging great. When I had a question, I received a very fast response. I love supporting this company and highly recommend them and their amazing coffee.
Delicious coffee!
Great service
For the past three years, I’ve been almost exclusively drinking and enjoying light roast coffees. During that time, I’ve developed a real appreciation for fruity, complex, and vibrant coffees, and I was on the lookout for exceptional Canadian roasters.
I actually came across Mood Artisan Coffee completely by accident. My wife happened to notice them on social media and mentioned them to me. I decided to start with their sample pack and take it from there.
It didn’t take long for me to fall in love with their coffees. The lighter, fruitier offerings immediately stood out, and I’ve continued ordering them while also experimenting with other products in their lineup. Every coffee I’ve tried has been carefully roasted and full of character.
Today, Mood is my favorite coffee roaster. I genuinely look forward to discovering their new pour-over offerings and seeing what exciting coffees they release next. If you’re a fan of light roasts and enjoy exploring bright, nuanced flavors, I highly recommend giving Mood Artisan Coffee a try.
One of the best beans 🥰
Love the coffee so much!!Will return for more!!
