La Novena de Café

One of our aims at La Clara is to share our experience of Colombia with you. And this December, we want to share something very close to our hearts.

Traditionally, or at least when we were kids, we did not have advent calendars. Our thing was “La Novena de Aguinaldos”.

La Novena is a very traditional gathering held on the nine days leading up to Christmas in Colombia. When Jose lived at La Clara farm, all the neighbors and their children around the farm came together for nine consecutive days to share food, songs (carols or “aguinaldos”), and prayers. The kids made their own instruments, and the adults brought the food. “Natilla and Buñuelos” are the classics.

Beyond a religious celebration, La Novena is a community-building tradition, the perfect excuse to gather with friends and love ones and simply share.

This December, we want to bring a piece of that to you, but around coffee.

Coffee is a connector. So this time, we bring you “La Novena de Café”. Nine very special coffees to enjoy over nine consecutive days. These coffees were produced by Oscar Restrepo and thought exclusively for this coffee box.

Inside you will find:

• Exotic varietals product of experimental processes, assessed by Q-graders (think of coffee sommeliers) and categorized as very high quality.
• 9 coffee bags, 100 g of each coffee to enjoy with you family and friends, so you have the chance to recreate this heartwarming celebration with us!
• An information booklet describing the tradition and each coffee.

There is a limited number of boxes, don’t wait too long to get yours!

Note: We will ship the box to you on the 7th of December.
