About us
Growing up in a country like Colombia naturally exposed me to some of my greatest passions in life: coffee, its beautiful rural landscapes, and the simple and marvelous countryside people that work the land to grow the crops we all consume. Later on in life, traveling all over the world as a lyric soprano, I appreciated firsthand the value that international markets placed on some of our agricultural products, especially our renowned Colombian coffee. But the paradox that always hunted me was why couldn’t I see that value materialize in the well-being of our growers and communities.  At this point in life, I found purpose in blending my lifelong passions with pursuing a business model in which I could facilitate a win-win arrangement: providing demanding markets with the highest quality coffee beans whilst at the same time ensuring that its growers and their communities receive a fair share of the value, enabling them to provide better opportunities for their people and preserving our beautiful and valuable natural resources. It is in this purpose that I have found a profound meaning to my work and I’m actively searching for partners that share this vision to help make the world a better place; with the taste and aroma of a marvelous cup of coffee.

Start our history
The most exciting chapter of our story began when my grandfather acquired a farm in the beautiful region of Antioquia, Colombia. This place would soon become the home of my family’s most precious dreams and achievements. With altitudes ranging from 1700 to 2000 meters above sea level, our new fields were ready to be shaped by the hands of the family. We named this fertile land “El Bosque” (The Forest) because of the lush native and fruit trees that grew all around. Our farm´s coffee trees were surrounded by uchuvas (golden berries), avocados, pineapples, apples, and peaches.
Our family’s farm became the family business called “El Bosque Cultivating Dreams”, with the purpose of turning our dreams into an entrepreneurial endeavor.
Our dreams reached the Middle East when we landed in Dubai. From here, we began weaving a network of connections and collaboration between coffee lovers that brought Colombia and the Middle East closer together.
We launched our own export company in Colombia, to ensure full traceability of our coffee. In honor of our farm, we established a second company in Dubai called EL BOSKE, further strengthening our roots in the Middle East.
Our first coffee container reached Dubai, marking the beginning of a new chapter in our story, where each coffee bean continues El Boske’s dreams and legacy that started over 45 years ago.
