Traceability & Transparency
Purchase Model:
Direct trade. The coffee is depulped, fermented, and dried on the farm by Elkin Arcila in Támesis. Lozana Organics purchases the parchment directly, performs de-parching and quality control in Guatapé, and consolidates the lot for export. It is then transported by truck to the port of Cartagena, shipped to the Port of Felixstowe (Suffolk, UK), and stored near Heathrow or delivered directly to the roastery.
This transparent model ensures traceability from farm to cup, with quality and ethics upheld at every stage.

Origin Story
Before becoming a coffee farmer, Elkin Arcila worked in the beverage industry, specialising in water quality and fermentation. Seven years ago, life led him to Támesis to care for a family member requiring frequent medical check-ups. There, he found himself on a mountainside overlooking the Cartama Valley, where the morning mist condenses into a cool blanket — an ideal microclimate for exceptional coffee.
His passion for experimentation and community has since driven him to found Támesis’s first specialty coffee producers association and a barista school for children, which he teaches on weekends. At Puerto Arturo, Elkin fuses science and craft to create coffees of purity, depth, and purpose — a testament to innovation rooted in human connection.
