Coffee has always been part of my life, PERO …

Growing up Dominican, coffee was always there. It was how the day began, how conversations unfolded, and how hospitality was offered without a second thought.

What changed wasn’t my relationship with coffee.

It was discovering specialty coffee.

Learning about origin, processing, roasting, and brewing gave me a deeper appreciation for something that had already been part of my everyday life for years.

In many ways, specialty coffee helped me understand more deeply something I already valued. It made me more curious about the journey from seed to cup and even more appreciative of the work, care, and people behind every coffee.

Now I notice things I never noticed before:

☕ Freshness
☕ Sweetness
☕ Origin
☕ The hands behind each cup

Not because coffee became more complicated.

Because I started understanding everything that goes into it.

Have you tried specialty coffee yet? If not, what’s stopping you?

06/01/2026

The older I get, the more I realize how much coffee mirrors life itself.

Good things take time.Every origin carries identity.Growth can feel uncomfortable.Not everything is meant for everyone.And some of the best moments in life happen around a cup shared with other people.

Maybe that’s why coffee feels so personal.

Not just because of flavor —but because of what it represents: ritual, sobremesa, connection, culture, memory and story🌺

What has coffee taught you? ☕️

05/26/2026

A lot of us grew up drinking coffee before we ever learned the language around it. ☕🇩🇴 Roast levels. Extraction. Origin. Processing. Among other “fancy” terms.

Once you start tasting specialty coffee intentionally, you realize how much story exists inside one cup.

From dark roast myths to caffeine misconceptions, coffee is far more layered than most people think.

And when you taste coffee connected to origin, process, and rituals… you can’t un-taste it.

Coffee myths… pero maybe not anymore.

05/15/2026

I guess it’s time to join the trend 🙃

As a millennial specialty coffee person, I fully see myself on the left side.

Talking about single-origin coffee, processing methods, balance, sweetness, and tasting notes… while also understanding the emotional support beverage side of coffee culture🇩🇴

Because sometimes a cup of coffee really does bring you back to a feeling, a memory, or a familiar moment🌺

Atabey Coffee Roasters shares Dominican specialty coffee through culture, intentional roasting, cafecito culture and everyday cafecito rituals that feel personal.

05/12/2026

What does your coffee ritual look like? 🌺

Not just coffee. A way of life.

Atabey brings Dominican specialty coffee into the moments that matter—the slow mornings, the sobremesas, the conversations that linger long after the last sip.

A daily pause.
A connection to culture🇩🇴
A reminder to be present.

Because coffee was never meant to be rushed. It was meant to be experienced☕️

I’ve been thinking a lot about growth lately. Not the visible kind, but the kind that changes how you decide.

What you say yes to. What you stand behind. What you’re willing to put your name on.

For me, it’s always been about quality over quantity. In coffee, in business, and even in how I show up online.

Because if I’m honest, I keep asking myself… 
Are we really connecting, or just consuming more than ever?

This month’s letter goes into all of that. The in-between stage, the slower moments, and what it looks like to keep building with intention (with a little chisme at the end, as always).

If you’re already subscribed, check your inbox—I’d love to hear what you think. 
If you’re reading this tomorrow on Substack, leave a comment there and share your thoughts.

Atabey Coffee was never built on urgency or just a business. It was built on memory🌺🇩🇴

On the way coffee smells in a Dominican home before anyone even says buenos días. 
On the sound of water hitting the greca. On hands that learned this before us, without calling it “specialty,” just calling it coffee.

These photos were from the very first time I tried to capture that feeling. Not just a product. 
A habit. A rhythm. A way of being.

100% Dominican coffee means more than origin. 
It means direct relationships with producers back home. It means roasting with intention, not mass production. It means respecting the process from seed to cup, the way it’s always been done, just with more visibility now.
If you’ve been here, you know. If you’re new, this is what we’re about.

Café dominicano. Sin apuro. Con historia☕️

04/10/2026

Not everything we were taught is true. We grew up learning one version of our history. Clear. Complete. No questions asked.
 But recently, I learned there’s more beneath the surface. And it made me think about everything.

What we believe. What we accept as fact. How even we, ourselves, keep evolving.

This month’s newsletter is about that. 
History, identity, and the season I’m currently in with Atabey.

If you’re someone who likes to learn, question, and see things differently, I think you’ll connect with this one.

P.S. Shoutout to Gary de Arriba for the work he does and for bringing conversations like this to light. This episode really stayed with me.

I was raised by a strong woman.

The kind that didn’t make noise, but held everything together.

I grew up watching what it means to keep going. No permission. No validation.

So hearing that women should go back home, stay quiet, and play small… it doesn’t sit right with me.

Because there were too many women before us who didn’t accept that.

They worked. They learned. They stepped into spaces that weren’t built for them.

They made things a little easier for us. Y eso no se puede olvidar.

This month I wrote about that.
About my grandmother. About women in coffee. About the work that often goes unseen.

If you’re part of this community, this is for you.

This little girl didn’t know it then, but she was being raised by strong women — starting with my great-grandmother, then one of the most important women in my life, my grandmother, followed by all the women in my family, and close women friends who became like family.

Their lessons live in me… and are part of the story behind Atabey Coffee. Because of them, I celebrate today, this month, and every single day of my life the wonderful power of being a woman.

Happy International Women’s Day from this Dominican, women-led coffee story.

As we close El Mes de la Dominicanidad, we pause on this day.

February 27, 1844.�The day the Dominican Republic declared its independence.

Before there was a flag waving freely in the capital, there were people willing to fight for sovereignty. There were men and women who believed this land should stand on its own.

Dominican Independence Day is part of our history. But it is also part of our present. Our language. Our traditions. Our responsibility to protect what was built.

Dominicanidad lives in how we remember.�
And in how we continue.

Viva la República Dominicana! 🇩🇴

Continuing con el Mes de la Dominicanidad: Coffee Before the Roast… How Dominican coffee becomes truly Dominican before it ever meets heat. Before roasting, before grinding, before the first cup — there is the land 🇩🇴

In the Dominican Republic, as in other specialty coffee regions, coffee cherries are harvested by hand. Farmers pick only the ripe, red fruit. This takes time. It takes knowledge passed down through generations.

After harvest, the coffee beans are processed. Some are washed (lavado) to create a clean, bright profile. Others are dried naturally in the sun, letting the fruit influence the flavor. The beans rest under open skies, turned carefully, and protected from sudden rain.

Altitude matters. Climate matters. Soil matters. Coffee grown in regions like Jarabacoa, among other known regions in the DR, develops character because of the mountains, the humidity, and the pace of the land.

This is where flavor begins. Not in the roaster. Not in the cup. But with the hands that harvest it.

Atabey Coffee starts here — in the care, the patience, and the heritage behind every Dominican coffee bean. Celebrating our Dominicanidad in every colao’ 🌺

02/16/2026

February is El Mes de la Dominicanidad, and as Dominican Independence Day approaches, I’ve been reflecting on what it truly means to be Dominican born.
For me, Dominicanidad goes beyond flags and celebration. It’s about knowing our history, honoring our traditions like café colao en media, and protecting what our land produces — especially Dominican specialty coffee.

In this month’s Substack letter, I share: 🇩🇴 A personal story from high school about presenting on the Dominican Republic ☕ The cultural roots of café colao 🔥 The vulnerable transition of finding a new coffee roaster after a painful lesson in Los Angeles

This reflection is deeply tied to why I move the way I do with Atabey Coffee Roasters — and why origin, roast, and intention matter so much to me.

If you care about Dominican culture, coffee, and the stories behind both… this one is for you.

If you know, you know. — Atabey Coffee ☕ 🇩🇴Dominican specialty coffee ready for the 🇵🇷Benito Bowl this Sunday🏈 - Are YOU ready?

02/02/2026

February marks the start of el Mes de la Dominicanidad here at Atabey Coffee and for all Dominicans around the world. Each year, I use this month to share pieces of Dominican culture and Dominican coffee history that deserve space and context🇩🇴

To open the month, I’m starting with Dominican rum🥃

Rum in the Dominican Republic begins with sugarcane, introduced to the island in 1493. By the 1600s, molasses was already being fermented and distilled, often called caña or cañita. It was part of everyday life long before it was seen as a formal industry.

In the late 1800s and early 1900s, producers like Bermúdez, Brugal, and Barceló helped define what Dominican rum is today. These names still are how the world recognizes rum from the Dominican Republic🇩🇴

Today, Dominican rum holds a strong place globally. Brugal is consistently among the top-selling rum brands worldwide. Ron Barceló is known as the most exported dark rum in the world, with labels like Barceló Imperial earning international recognition for quality and aging.

Like coffee, rum carries the mark of land, time, and the people behind it. It reflects history, work, and care passed down over generations.

This month, I’ll continue sharing stories that connect my Dominican culture, coffee, and where we come from🌺

What Dominican tradition feels most connected to home for you?☕️

01/30/2026

Tomorrow is about community, alignment, and care. 
We recognize not everyone can pause — especially small business owners — and that matters🌺

For those who can participate, your presence strengthens the message. ✊🏼

And if shopping is necessary, choosing your neighborhood helps support those who need it most, rather than those already making more than enough.
Community over perfection 🫶🏻

At Atabey Coffee, origin has always come first🇩🇴
Dominican coffee is more than a flavor to me — it’s a story of my land, the farmer who grow our beans, and my culture. We grow and roast intentionally, one step at a time, so every cup connects you to its origin.

The past weeks have reminded me how important it is to slow down and reflect.
A cup of coffee can offer a moment to pause, center, and appreciate where things come from ❤️‍🔥

Whether you’re a daily coffee drinker or exploring specialty coffee for the first time, thinking about origin and care adds depth to that morning ritual.
Coffee connects us all. What do you notice first — the flavor, the story behind the beans, or where it comes from?

How can we cherish that connection together over a cup of 💯Dominican coffee?🌺

The January Substack is live ☕️
This one is honest. A little raw. About starting the year without rushing, questioning the noise, and what quietly shows up between conversations.
If you’ve been feeling the world feels… off lately — you’re not alone. I wrote this one for us.
Read it on Substack and tell me what part stayed with you 🌺 Link in bio.
