WHOLE BEAN COFFEE
Tastes Like: Milk Chocolate, Praline, Baking Spices, Red Fruits
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.

One of the best beans 🥰
Love the coffee so much!!Will return for more!!
Now that I have made Mood coffee part of my morning ritual there is no going back to regular coffee brands. First, and foremost, this is women supporting women. I am so happy to see a Canadian, female-owned brand that is supporting female farmers around the globe! That alone is groundbreaking to me and I am here for it.
So far I have only tried 2 of the 3 flavours I have purchased, but I really like the most recent flavour the most (Colombia Washed by Francy Castillo). I can actually taste the subtle fruity peach notes and a hint of the milk chocolate. I think it comes across as a slightly lighter roast. Oddly enough, when I spilled coffee on myself this week, it smells kind of like soy sauce, but it certainly does not taste that way, thankfully! It might be the combination of the coffee with my lactose-free milk in it. I cannot wait to try more flavours!
I brew this every morning by freshly grinding 3-4 tablespoons of beans and placing it into my regular coffee maker with water. I have a miniature coffee maker, so I think this makes about a cup to a cup and a half of coffee (depending on how much I want to make). I like a stronger, bolder flavour.
Shipping is pretty fast, especially since I am Canadian :). It is easy for me to get more coffee any time I need or want it. I think I get a couple weeks out of 1 bag, as I am the only coffee drinker in my household and I only drink it in the morning before work.
Sooo good! Will you have this in stock again??
A game changer! Smooth, rich and fabulously flavourful. My new favourite.
Chefs kiss to this deliciousness!
Kudos to these remarkable women.
