Telling the important stories

of our women coffee growers.

With Natalia Cruz Meyer - Dir Women's Coffee @ Geek Grind Coffee

Generations Together - Meet Esther!

Today I spent time with Esther Cecilia Hoyos!

Esther is member of the Coffee Delegates Association which provides leadership within the local coffee cooperative. She is a farmer, harvester and head of her household who, thanks to her hard work, is getting her children ahead no matter the odds.

Her coffee crops are the envy of the municipality of Vijes. She lives in a village near Restrepo Valley and her coffee is exclusive to Geek Grind coffee.

Her story is one of several genearations too! The farm is co-owned by her mother, Mrs. Carmelita Hoyos.

Carmelita is a true matriarch and the leader of the family and community. Her children each have her own land and cultivate coffee and crops with her guidance.

Thanks to these amazing ladies, today we can bring you a the finest cup of coffee, and more importantly, with your support we grow a healthy future for these families in the mountains of coffee country.

Great Coffee!

The coffee samples I received taste very good. The Heritage has a strong kick to it, which I was pleasantly surprised to find. The Feathers of Liberty smelled great, but after brewing I did not notice any vanilla taste. I'm glad I tried this, it's a good intro to the nerdrotic products. And the coffee arrived on time, fortunately not late like Gary lol

I like it black, like my men

Regularly order and reorder all of the Nerdrotic blends. Share it with coworkers, which makes me very popular. The bag is on a shelf in my office and people always ask about it. I use it with the reusable k-cups and enjoy the full flavor without adding anything.

Unforgivingly bold and smooth just like Nerdrotic

Big fan of Nerdrotic and knew I just had to try some of this vanilla-infused coffee. This is by far some of the smoothest coffee I've ever had. Every year for Thanksgiving and Christmas I fix a gallon of hard iced coffee. I'm normally stuck drinking it alone but this year I used the Fathers of Liberty and had some family join in. I'll never go back to store bought after this.
