coffee by the modernist

Linarco Rodriguez: Colombia

We were thinking... what do us modernists love? Cycling, a Negroni or two, Italian design, and of course, an early morning espresso. So we set about creating our very own coffee, and we've decided to keep things simple and call it... coffee.

We'll be rotating our roasts seasonally, but first up is:

Linarco Rodriguez

El Diviso, Palestina, Huila. Colombia.

Washed - Pink Bourbon

Medium Filter / Light Espresso

Tasting Notes: Blackcurrant, Tiramisu

The Rodriguez family have been growing coffee in Palestina for generations. Today, the farm is led by Linarco Rodríguez Ospina, who grew up surrounded by coffee trees, learning the work from his parents and grandparents. What started as a childhood routine—helping during harvests and pitching in after school—turned into a lifelong commitment to the land and his family’s legacy.

Today, the Rodríguez family works across three farms—Finca Betania, Los Cedros, and El Diviso—each contributing to their range of micro-lots. They grow a mix of varieties, including Pink Bourbon, Gesha, Tabi, Caturra, and SL28, and apply a mix of traditional and experimental processing methods. Fermentations are carefully controlled—often anaerobic and extended—and drying is slow and deliberate, taking around 20 to 28 days.

We'll be adding to our range soon, including a house blend and decaf.
