Colombia El Vergel Coffee
Our second relationship coffee sees us sourcing from our friends in Colombia, Shady and Elias Bayter of El Vergel.
Situated in the mountainous department of Tolima, El Vergel sits atop the inactive volcano on the Piedra Grand Trail - benefitting from a unique microclimate and localised volcanic terroir.
The farm is managed by the Bayter brothers, Shady and Elias, and their mother, Marta. The brothers have been farming since their childhood, following their parent’s footsteps, who started growing avocados and conventional coffee back in 1995. Since then, El Vergel became known as one the largest producers in their region, leading them to provide economic growth to hundreds who worked with the farm.
El Vergel Estate has been producing a variety of coffees and experimenting with new and innovative processing techniques based on the coffee’s density, genetics, and other characteristics.
This lot is one of the easiest drinkers we've ever been lucky enough to come across. A honey-like sweetness and crisp apple-acidity gives way to a long milk chocolate finish.

Shipping & Costs
Curating Excellence In Taste
A premium home-brewed coffee is still less expensive than a cafe
Issue: With the continuing economic uncertainty that COVID brings, many are choosing to tighten the purse strings and are replacing luxuries with cheaper, more basic products.For more: Comunicaffe International
...However, whilst the purse strings may need to tighten, a premium home-brewed coffee or tea is still less expensive than buying individual drinks on the go. Many have already taken the time to improve their brewing skills since the outbreak, and so now have the equipment and know-how to recreate that authentic coffee shop experience from home. If this isn't you, then there really is no better time to start, and better yet, at GUSTATORY you’ll find plenty of affordable options from our range of independents to support you in doing just that. Easy to find and it won’t cost you the earth for these to be delivered.
