About Oswaldo Narvaez of Colombia
A one-lane dirt road winds up the mountain and down into a little valley where the small town of La Florida nestles. Here houses crowd up to the road and cling to the hills, much as they have since the town was founded in 1820. Dreamy, picturesque, it’s like stepping back into time, and the view goes on forever.
In the surrounding hills, many smallholders cultivate their coffee trees, each producing an average of ten to twenty bags total per year. The lots may be small, but the quality and flavor is superior. Producer Oswaldo Narvaez is one such, growing and processing coffee at his small farm just outside of the township, Finca Granadillo.

Case Coffee Roasters
At the ripe old age of 21, high school sweethearts Tim and Kati Case married in January, 2006, and promptly opened Case Coffee Roasters in Ashland, Oregon. Winners of the 2013 and 2015 Good Food Awards and a finalist in 2016, Tim and Kati’s mission is to source the world’s most sweet, clean, and complex coffees. They are dedicated to making great coffee selections and offering good prices to the farmers, often paying two to three times Fair Trade prices.
When they’re not living and breathing coffee, you might find Tim and Kati exploring the Pacific Northwest with their six-year-old son, Yonnie: surfing, snowboarding, fly fishing, hiking, and mountain biking.
