Alchemy Harvest Coffee is proud to partner with small farmers and their families, whose dedication and legacy inspire every bag we roast. The following is a message from Nelson, a third-generation coffee grower in Colombia. We are honored to work alongside him and support his journey toward his family's dreams. His story is a testament to the love, tradition, and resilience rooted in Finca Granito de Oro.
“The farm Granito de Oro was born from a family legacy. My father taught us to work the land and once promised to give me a ‘granito de oro’—a little grain of gold—as a reward for my good behavior and obedience. It became a dream for me. Though we lived humbly and had few resources, our greatest wealth was the legacy of experiences and the practice of strong values. That’s why I named the inherited land Granito de Oro, a place that preserves ancestral traditions, family heritage, and a deep love for nature.
I’m proud to say I’m a farmer by tradition and a third-generation coffee grower. Today, it’s a family project where, together with my wife and a group of women heads of household, we work every day with dedication to produce a differentiated coffee—one that reflects unique flavors and aromas and highlights the richness of our region.
Granitos de Oro Coffee is a story waiting to be told—love and tradition in every cup, from our farm to your table.”

Specialty Coffee
Our washed coffee beans are sourced directly from our friends at Alchemy Harvest in Colombia, where tradition and precision come together to create a clean, bright, and vibrant cup.
Washed
There are three distinct processes that we use: washed, natural, and honey.
In the washed process, coffee cherries are pulped to remove all of the outer fruit, leaving a sticky mucilage layer on the beans. They are then fermented to break down this layer before being thoroughly washed and sun-dried. This meticulous process results in a clean, bright, and crisp flavor that highlights the pure essence of the bean. It's the perfect choice for those who love a refined and vibrant cup of coffee.
