OUR STORY

“Do what you love, and you won’t have to work a day in your life"

We’re two Colombian entrepreneurs who’ve called San Diego home since 2012. Yipao Coffee® was born out of our love and pride for Colombia—its culture, its people, and, of course, its world-famous coffee.

There’s nothing like driving through the lush green mountains of Colombia, visiting farms where dedicated growers handpick, select, and meticulously process the finest coffees. Hearing their stories and seeing their passion inspires us to bring you something truly special.

Growing coffee in Colombia isn’t easy. The rugged terrain, years of conflict, and the challenges of rural life have tested these hardworking men and women. They are the real heroes, creating coffee that reflects their resilience and pride.

At Yipao Coffee, we ensure every bean is treated with care. Our farmers’ dedication shines through in every cup, and we bring that same meticulous approach to our roasting and preparation process, offering you a rich, aromatic experience that transports you to the heart of Colombia. We’re committed to sharing this journey with you, from farm to cup, while ensuring our growers are fairly rewarded for their efforts.
