About La Plata of Colombia
La Estrella Del Ostro gets its name from the star of the southern wind, which shines just above the mountain range where this coffee is grown. On a clear night, this bright start points towards the top of the mountain in La Plata, Huila. This farm started with a few small scale producers from the township of Belen, which is part of La Plata.

Five & Hoek
Five & Hoek, roasting since 2011, is focused on living life in community and connecting with others (or themselves with a good book) through coffees that tell stories. Their own story starts in India, where owners Tyler and Erich fell in love with the laid back culture experienced in tea gardens (and rickshaw rides), and brought back a desire to share that experience through the avenue of coffee and community.
Five & Hoek opened their Wheaton cafe in 2014, and are expanding to put both cafe and roastery under the same roof in 2019, where they will continue to source and roast both approachable and experimental coffees. They serve delicious coffee and inspire community through local customers and producers partners as they live out their tagline, “Coffee / Connection / Community.
