## What the Brand Says

> Nelson Melo and his wife, Liliana Pabón, are the visionaries behind Orgánica. At Finca Las Acacias, they set the standard for our exceptional La Golondrina coffee. While neighboring farms chose robust varieties during renovations, Nelson and Liliana took a different path, opting for high-quality but more demanding varieties. Their commitment to organic methods and meticulous processing results in a coffee that stands out for its nuanced flavors, boasting notes of bergamot, kiwi, and sweet apple pastry.
