About Marco Garcia at La Palma y El Tucán of Colombia
Marco Garcia is a part of the Neighbors & Crops program facilitated by La Palma y El Tucán (LPYET). LPYET is an estate in Cundinamarca, Colombia on which some of the most beautiful coffees in the world are grown and processed. They provide agricultural and educational resources to their neighboring farmers and pay a premium for their coffee cherry, increasing the farmers' revenue 2-3 fold! LPYET is laser-focused on sustainability and bio-diversity making the fruit of working with them that much sweeter. Through the “Bio-Innovation” process, La Palma & El Tucán honors the main principles of organic farming. They first capture and reproduce microorganisms found in their farm’s beautiful forests to create their own fermentation substrate. Then they mix this substrate with perfectly ripened cherries in a buried clay pot for 100 hours. After fermentation, they remove the leftovers and reuse them as compost. This closed-loop recycling is highly sustainable while producing a remarkable cup of coffee.

Voltage Coffee Project
The first chapter of Voltage Coffee began at 114 West Oak Street in 2014. The goal was to combine our love for the city and good coffee in a unique cafe on the Denton Square - Some place warm & inviting, a coffee shop for Dentonites to call their own.
Roughly a year after opening the doors at West Oak, we started down the path of roasting our own coffees. We focused on forging relationships with hard-working farmers across the globe that pushed the boundaries of biodiversity, business ethics, and flavor innovation. Though we have since rebranded under the Voltage Coffee moniker, our initial mission remains the same – Explore the experimental frontier of coffee and bridge the gap from farm to cup, building trust and friendships along the way.
With a few years of shop ops & roasting under our belt, we were ready to open our second & third concepts - Kimzey's and Trinity Street. One was a cafe with character inspired by Olde English cottages - The other sought to bring third wave coffee and cocktails to the hardworking people of small town Texas. Our vision is to open unique brands in every city we venture into, and we're grateful that the communities of Argyle & Decatur have welcomed us as their own.
In 2020, we moved our roasting equipment and offices to Decatur at the Roastaurant. Now, at the dawn of 2022, we've rebranded West Oak Coffee Roasting to exist under the name of our parent brand, Voltage Coffee. Our hope is that Voltage be known as the undercurrent of quality & stamp of approval on every project we touch - whether it's a bag of coffee or a new cafe concept.
We collaborate with farmers, roast coffee, and open unique concepts — All with the sole focus of creating community.
