We founded NOSCOFFEES, which stands for Nariño Origins Specialty Coffees, with a shared vision of connecting Colombia’s coffee heritage with the world. The company was born from the collaboration between Eyder Andrés Martínez (myself) and Huver Castillo, both deeply rooted in the coffee culture of southern Colombia. My story with coffee begins in my childhood. I grew up surrounded by coffee farms, as my grandfather and father were both involved in growing, buying, and transporting coffee in the Nariño region. Despite being immersed in this world, I didn’t initially see its potential. Following my parents' wishes, I left home to study Biochemical Engineering in another city. However, during the COVID-19 pandemic, I returned home and found myself reconnecting with coffee from a new perspective. This time, I saw the opportunity to apply scientific knowledge to improve post-harvest processes. I began working with TECNICAFE, a renowned Colombian coffee research center where producers can take Q Processing and Q Grader courses, and learn advanced fermentation and cultivation techniques. Later, I collaborated with the FNC (National Federation of Coffee Growers) to lead fermentation workshops for coffee producers. That’s when I met Huver Castillo, an agronomic engineer with extensive experience supporting coffee growers in Nariño through his work at the FNC. We quickly discovered our shared passion for innovation and farmer empowerment, and eventually joined forces to create NOSCOFFEES. Today, NOSCOFFEES focuses on: Training and supporting coffee producers to improve quality through education and science-based practices Sourcing and exporting traceable specialty coffees directly from origin Promoting transparency and long-term relationships between growers and international buyers We believe that every bean carries a story, and we are committed to helping farmers tell theirs through exceptional coffee.

This harvest reflects a deeper level of precision and experimentation. We’ve worked closely with farmers on controlled fermentations, improved drying protocols, and selective picking at peak ripeness. In particular, we’ve been exploring low-temperature double fermentations to highlight unique sensory profiles and merging farms tools that traditional producers can use.. These are not just coffees, they are the result of months of collaborative work and technical refinement.

What sets our coffee apart is the deep integration of knowledge and community , producer collaboration, and regional identity. We're not just buying coffee, we're working hand-in-hand with producers, giving them information about how to make processes, and preserving the unique character of each terroir. Every lot tells a story not just of origin, but of intentional craftsmanship.

My days are a blend of field work, quality control, and collaboration with producers. While I don’t own a large farm myself, just 4 hectares so don't require too much time, so, I work mostly closely with smallholder farmers in regions like Nariño, Cauca, and Huila. My day often includes visiting farms, checking on post-harvest processes, adjusting fermentation protocols, and cupping coffees to evaluate quality. I also dedicate time to logistics and export coordination, ensuring traceability and consistency across the lots we source.

We’re looking for meaningful, long-term partnerships and relationships based on transparency, shared goals, and mutual respect. We want our buyers to see us not just as suppliers but as collaborators. The best partnerships are those where we grow together, exchanging feedback, co-developing coffees, and building trust over time.

Coffee has always been part of my life. I grew up in a family where my grandfather and father were involved in coffee production and trade. Although I initially took a different path studying biochemical engineering, I found my way back to coffee during the pandemic and this time, with a renewed vision: to merge science and tradition to improve quality and impact. My passion comes from the people behind coffee farmers, families, communities and the opportunity to elevate their work to the global stage

Absolutely. Long-term partnerships are the foundation of what we’re building. They allow us to plan ahead with producers, invest in infrastructure, and maintain consistency in quality and supply. We value partners who share our vision and are invested in making a difference at origin, sometimes is hard for not famous producer get long-term relationships, this is why we also offer to our clients a really nice experience buying our coffees

We believe the future of coffee is about connections between producers, buyers, roasters, and consumers. The more we align around quality, transparency, and sustainability, the stronger the industry becomes. I also believe that coffee professionals from origin countries like Colombia have a key role to play, not just as producers, but as thought leaders and innovators. We’re excited to be part of that movement and offer good coffees, good quality and good prices, that makes a better coffee chain for everyone involved.
