Melky runs a small farm called Finca Buenavista up in the hills of Nariño, Colombia. It’s the kind of spot that’s perfect for growing coffee. His family’s been at it for ages, and Melky’s kept the tradition going, producing clean, sweet coffee that tastes like Raspberry, Honeycomb, and Lychee.

We met Melky at his farm back in 2008. He cooked us lunch, showed us around, and brewed us coffee his way. The guy likes to dress like a chef because, well...he’s the boss! Melky's coffee is a true gem of Nariño. Caturra from this region is some of the most prized in all of Colombia, and we're damn lucky to get it. It's clean, sweet, and packs a punch—bold flavours of Raspberry, Honeycomb, and Lychee that hit just right.
