"Sample Coffee is a deliberately small business that believes in the power of little things making a big impact.
Thinking about tomorrow’s coffee ritual makes us just as excited as a kid before a school trip. And we acknowledge that this feeling is only made possible by the dedication of many individuals. From the grower back at origin to the roaster here at home; every tiny part counts.
Our daily work focuses on offering a consistently high-quality coffee experience in balance with a responsible business practice based on respect, generosity and joy. We do this by being present, paying attention to the small details and investing in long-term relationships with those who also care about their communities and lands.

"Elias Quilcue Apio is a coffee producer with a proud indigenous heritage: the Paez people. His grandparents, who lived in the land he cultivates today, helped treat people in the community with natural remedies. They call this place El Diviso, nestled high in the southern mountains of Tolima, Colombia.
Elias got involved in coffee production in 2002. In 2019, motivated by a local association and after attending some workshops, he introduced numerous changes to the production process: harvest, infrastructure, handling… This immediately pushed up the quality of the coffee, which started selling in the specialty markets and brought a better income into the household."

"Girma, a current member of Jabanto farmers group, started producing coffee in 1991 after spending several years trading other commodities between the Dilla and Biloya towns. Since then, he has become highly knowledgeable in harvest and processing techniques, constantly staying up to date with the latest trends and technology thanks to his close collaboration with the bureau of agriculture and research centre. This extensive experience has naturally led him to become a leader and organiser for the community of coffee growers around the region.

Today, Girma grows coffee on his own 7-hectare farm in the village of Biloya, and sometimes contracts it from other producers near the Sashamene village where he can source different varietals."
