Paisa Coffee founder
Yolima Taborda Rojas
Owner
Hi! I am a native Colombian and daughter of coffee farmers. My dream has always been to share the love I have for coffee with the world. I believe the best cup of coffee is achieved when both farmers and roasters work together as a team to improve quality and add value, and when both parts are aware not only of what the other part does, but also the importance of their job.
I was born and raised on Finca la Vega farm, which is currently one of my partner farms. I grew up learning about coffee farming and seeing my family work hard to produce the best possible coffee. Thanks to my background I can say with confidence that at Paisa Coffee we have some of the most special coffees to offer to the world. Coming straight from origin gives me the privilege and honor to speak on behalf of my family and neighbor farmers to share with you, the coffee roasters, what they want to show and what they have to offer. And hopefully you can connect with them in a more personal level.
Mission
Paisa Coffee’s mission is to connect small Colombian families of coffee farmers who work hard to produce high-quality coffee, with U.S. coffee roasters in search of specialty coffees with exceptional characteristics and grown in a sustainable environment.
Vision
Our vision is to teach the practice of coffee cupping to every farmer we work with, so that they are at the same level of expertise than the coffee roasters, making possible the pursuit of the same goals regarding quality and excellence in the cup.
Coffee is all about the excitement and passion in the cup
