Born in The Hague
Back to 2019, after some years of being together, Stephany Marmolejo and Darius Karremans, two coffee lovers with roots in Colombia & Costa Rica, decided to move to NL and build a home in The Hague. To find a new way of living they combined their passion for coffee & their careers, this is how Kolibri was born.
The project began with a small coffee production owned by Darius’ family that comes from the slopes of the Turrialba volcano in Costa Rica and is harvested at Nonna Anna farm (in honor of his grandmother’s name).
For Darius the company is still a part time job since he is also working as an IT manager, but he believes it will be his main project in the coming years. While for Stephany it’s a full time job which allows her to continue her career as a professional in international marketing & commercial management.
Coffees to-die-for
The idea behind Kolibri is simple: celebrate the exciting cultural value of coffee and bring the experience of its consumption to our community.
Born in the Netherlands and roasted locally: we offer high-quality single origin coffee beans from one of the best producers in the world’s tropical highlands that have been sustainably harvested through environmentally friendly practices applied in each farm.

Ethically Sourced
To select coffee we really take care of each process within the value chain. For us it is very important to partner with farms and intermediaries (importers / exporters) who share our vision of sustainability and values.
We are committed to buying coffee at its fair price to ensure a healthy economic growth and social well-being of the farmers and their surrounding communities, as well as that of the industry itself.
All people deserve to know the story behind each cup of coffee!
Locally Roasted
We really know the importance of offering an excellent bean within a region that has a clear demand regarding product quality and a high level of consumption.
For the above, we work with the most recent harvest according to the seasonality of the regions to favor the freshness of each batch.
Once the coffee arrives in The Netherlands, we define its profile taking into account variables such as; origin, variety, process, altitude and others. After that we carefully roasted with a local partner to enhance its quality and complexity in the tastiest way.
