Our story

From Perijá to Stavanger.

Our story begins in Serranía del Perijá in Colombia and continues in Stavanger, where the coffee meets Norwegian coffee culture.

The name

From distance to connection

Then

Guatilla was a word used by Indigenous communities in Serranía del Perijá for people outside their own communities — a word that once marked distance and difference.

Now

For us, Guatilla no longer means separation, but connection. It is a meeting point between cultures, a bridge between origin and destination.

“Today, we give this name a new meaning.”

The symbol

A viewpoint that became a bridge

The circular Guatilla sculpture

Guatilla's symbol took shape at a viewpoint high in Serranía del Perijá. What began as a visual experience of the landscape and its colours later became, to us, a bridge.

The circular form represents a complete cycle — from Colombian soil to Europe.

Our responsibility

For us, quality is not just a technical score; it is a promise. Through direct collaboration with the coffee producers in our family, we contribute to fair conditions and long-term development in Colombian communities.

Full transparency

Honesty at every stage of the process.

Direct relationships

Long-term trust built on shared growth.

One identity

One system, one shared story.

The name, the symbol and the coffee are parts of the same identity. By uniting the meaning behind the name with the strength of the symbol, we create an experience that begins in Perijá and becomes part of your everyday life.
