My journey with coffee — more than a drink, it became a purpose

By Carlos Medrano.

Hey.
Today I want to share something personal.
This journey I’ve been on with coffee… it’s been so much more than just a project or a business. It’s been part of me.

When I first started thinking about this idea, I didn’t really know where it would take me. I just knew there was something about coffee that pulled me in. Not just the taste — even though, let’s be honest, it's amazing — but everything behind it: the hands that grow it, the soil that gives it life, the stories carried in every single cup.

And deep down, I had this desire — the need to share something real. Something that comes from Costa Rica, from our mountains, from our traditions, and offer it to the world in a way that feels honest. Full of care. Full of love. And respectful of everyone involved.

It hasn’t been easy. There have been moments of doubt, fear, frustration. I’ve felt far from home more than once.
But every time I see someone hold a cup of coffee with intention, every time someone tells me “this tastes different,” I know I’m doing something that matters.

This journey has made me grow. It’s connected me to amazing people — producers, roasters, artists, conscious coffee lovers — all united by something as simple and as powerful as a warm cup.

And yeah, this is just the beginning.
But I feel grateful. For what I’ve learned. For what’s coming. And for having the chance to share it with you.

Thank you for being here. For listening. For being part of this journey.

See you in the next cup.
