Carlos Restrepo

Carlos cultivates two exceptional single-origin Arabica varieties grown on his family farm in the elevated valleys of Ebéjico, Antioquia (1,750–2,200 MASL).
Prized for their unique expression shaped by altitude, soil richness, and careful hand-harvesting, these beans deliver a remarkable clarity and depth that define the Antioquia profile.

Bean Taste Profile

Carlos’s lots offer a balanced yet complex flavor composition:

• Castillo Tradicional: notes of ripe red fruit, milk chocolate, and panela sweetness, medium body, bright acidity.
• Castillo Zona Centro: citrus zest, toasted almonds, and cocoa finish, silky mouthfeel with lasting sweetness.
• Both showcase clean cup quality and are the signature of Antioquia’s mountain microclimate.

Meet the Farmer

Carlos grew up surrounded by coffee trees, learning the art of cultivation from his father and grandfather. Today, he stands as both a farmer and an advocate for his community — helping build new access roads that connect remote farms in Ebéjico to Uprise’s processing centers.

At home, Carlos lives with his wife, mother, and his brother, who faces a disability but brings endless positivity to the family’s daily life. His deep sense of responsibility drives him to ensure that every crop supports both his family and the wider farming community.

“Coffee is more than a crop,” Carlos says. “It’s how we take care of one another. Every bean carries a story — and a promise.”
