The Story Behind the Brand
Monserrate Nº1 was born in Bogotá, inspired by the iconic historical landmark of Monserrate Hill, known for its spectacular panoramic views of the capital city of Colombia. We are a modern Colombian brand created for a new generation of coffee lovers who value quality, design and authenticity. As Colombians living between Colombia and the United States, we understand both worlds deeply. Our purpose is to elevate Colombian coffee on the global stage and show a new perspective of our country through excellence, storytelling and flavor.
We founded Monserrate Nº1 to share incredible coffee with full traceability, grown with intention and perfected to the highest standards. But we also created it to shift the perception of Colombia. Living abroad made us realize how often people see our country through headlines instead of truth. Colombia is not the stereotype. Colombia is farmers who begin their day before sunrise, communities shaped by hard work and deep rooted pride, entrepreneurs with bold vision and creative ideas, families defined by strength and an unwavering spirit.
Every coffee bag we make reflects that identity. We showcase Colombia’s beauty through design, color and region specific illustrations so people can experience our landscapes before they even taste the coffee. Our goal is for every cup to feel like a small tour of Colombia, where you discover not only flavor but the character, strength and spirit of the people behind it.
We work directly with farmers across Colombia, honoring their work through 100% single origin specialty coffee with full traceability and fair pricing. Our commitment is to support the people who grow our coffee and ensure that every purchase uplifts their communities.
