By the time we got to “La Teresita” it was almost lunchtime, we know how Colombian coffee farmers go above and beyond when it comes to feeding their guests and we didn’t want to impose on them, so we opted to eat something before arriving at the farm.

Early in the morning of a beautiful Thursday of November 2021, my wife (Marcia Miles) and I were on our way to pick up Miguel Echeverri, Hatillo Coffee’s co-founder and Chief Quality Officer (CQO), at his apartment in the neighborhood of “El Poblado.”  With Miguel on board, we left the city of the eternal spring  (aka. Medellin) headed for Fredonia.
