About Guatemala La Colina/The Hill

La Colina farm, translated into “The Hill”, is called like this because of the elevations of the land and the hill on which it is located.

It was the father of Tony Medina who decided to give the farm this name. He inherited the plot from his father, who distributed his farm as smaller plots among all his children. Initially, Tony planted only basic grains like corn and beans but he also tells that it has always been his dream to have a coffee farm.

In 1991 the first coffee tree was planted. Slowly but steady Tony increased the number of trees and the production. After 25 years Tony concludes that his dream has come true. It taught him that his perseverance has paid off.

How this works

Simply select how often you want to receive coffee and we’ll ship it to you based on your choice. It's really that easy. You can change or cancel your subscription anytime.

Shipping & Delivery

If you order before noon we will dispatch your package the same business day. Located in the Netherlands? You should receive your order within 24-48 hours. Rural and international deliveries typically take a little longer and should be with you in 2-5 days.

Note: due to COVID-19 restrictions, delivery is expected to take between 1-2 days longer depending on your location.

December: As the holiday season approaches and we all begin to send treats to our loved ones, the couriers get a little run off their feet. The inevitable delays have begun, so to ensure your presents make it under the tree, be sure to order before Friday 20th December.

Shipping Rates

Shipping costs are calculated automatically at checkout. We offer complimentary shipping for orders of €20 and above within the Netherlands. We normally ship via PostNL and often UPS, depending on your location. Deliveries within Amsterdam are powered by the lightning fast delivery service from Foodlogica.

Morning Shuffle

Before we turn on the coffee roaster in the morning, there's one thing we just can't go without.. music. We curated several playlists for you to enjoy while sipping. Some are perfect to relax and wind down, others can get a bit loud and noisy from time to time. Some have even been put together by the farmers we collaborate with. Keep on rocking in the free world!
