MARIA VARELA & COLOMBIAN FARMERS
Andina Coffee is the creation of Maria Paz Varela Hernandez, Colombian , specifically from Cartagena, the north of the country and who moved from to Scotland in 2017. I (Maria) knew that there was a market for speciality coffee from Colombia in the UK and I have worked hard to bring some of the best Colombian coffee beans to the UK. After some time trying to sell online coffee, doing research and knowing that there was a huge competition out there, I decided to open a coffee shop with the bad/good luck that just after signing the leasing of the property the first lockdown in Scotland was announced. My husband and I worked hard to get the premises ready and we took turns with family members to help us with the refurbishing of it. After months of work we were able to operate as a takeaway in Dennistoun. Fast-forward 3 years without going into too many details we decided to expand and open our second coffee shop in the West End of Glasgow.
OUR PARTNERS COLOMBIAN FARMERS

Andina Coffee works with a Colombian Cooperative that joined 2,200 associated families in 12 municipalities of the Norte del Valle (Colombia).

In the hectares that they have in their farms, our provider help them also to grow food such as bananas, avocados, etc so they can have another source of income.
