This Sisters' Surprise Colombia from Mauricio is complex and balanced. This high-quality coffee features floral notes, red fruit, and a sweet-and-sour finish. Sustainable coffee from Ray & Jules: slow and freshly roasted on solar power.

Our ultimate goal: equal and direct relationships with cooperatives and/or farmers . We want to give them ownership in the coffee chain and grow together towards climate-proof plantations.

If this is not (yet) possible, we choose FTO. Through these labels we can be sure that farmers receive support to provide for their livelihood and to invest in their coffee cultivation.

What's special
about this coffee

Lieze and Sarah visited the Argote farmers in Colombia in July 2022 and spent 2 weeks working on the plantations of Juan Pablo Lasso Argote, the inspirer of the Argote project. Besides his own coffee, Juan Pablo has a small export business through which he helps farmers from that region to export and sell coffee through This Side Up.

Lieze and Sarah visited Mauricio and Jésus' farms and so a partnership was born. In May 2025, Sarah returned and visited Mauricio and Juan Pablo again. What a wonderful reunion! Ray&Jules commits to buying up part of these farmers' harvest each year so that they can be assured of a good price and a market.

Direct trade

In 2020, a regenerative training centre was established in Génova to train farmers on composting, intercropping, mulching, mircobial fertilisers to become independent of industrial inputs. In the following years, expertise on fermentation techniques also grew to meet the demands and needs of specialty roasters. Close collaborations between Juan Pablo and farmers on the one hand and roasters on the other became a reality.

In 2023, Jairo Restrepo Rivera was invited to the training centre of the Argote farmers, an internationally renowned expert who encourages organic farming practices with his initiative "La Mierda de vaca" and thus also taught the Argote farmers about composting and making home-made, organic fertilisers.

Producers & cooperative

Mauricio grew up among the coffee plants and has 1.2 hectares of land himself where 6,000 (!) other tree species grow alongside coffee. He is father of 2 and the first in his family to join the Argote project.
