Union, family, and coffee

  Old Eduardo walks as he does every morning to the factory, an emblematic site for the community that for more than 40 years has processed one of the best coffee beans with certification of origin in this part of Colombia, the farmer has given his whole life to achieve perfection in the roasting of the grain, The farmer has given his entire life to achieve perfection in the roasting of the bean, developing special techniques and thus highlighting the aroma so characteristic making the product famous in part of Italy, from where they treasure its great quality, the reason for which they buy in advance all the production, practically it could be said that this small town in the highlands survives thanks to the coffee economy with Europe and the industry has an important part in this trade.

  Inside the facilities, the first thing he does is to check each of the safety valves in the boilers, verify that the proper maintenance was performed the night before the shutdown, as well as verify the extreme cleanliness of the roasters so that no contaminant could alter the acidity, or characteristics of the production process, only after this detailed industrial safety review of each component, he proceeds to give access to the rest of the staff to the shed. The employees have a task and a job to do within the machinery and have been trained for years by the owner himself, which has developed among almost all of them strong bonds of friendship that unite them far beyond a simple working relationship, it could even be said that certain employees are practically Eduardo's adopted children.

  The whistle of the steam boiler announces that the heat pressure is sufficient to begin the processing. From the high tower of the chimney the white steam from the humidity in the coffee begins to rise, which enters the ovens to roast and become a perfect high-quality bean, Little by little the aroma takes over the entire settlement, it is a delicious fragrance that produces joy and pride after passing through each of the houses, knowing that the fruit of their work in the fields surrounding the tower factory is finally in its final stage, which will produce new income to the community.

  Everything seems to be going well, the process continues according to plan without setbacks, meticulously fulfilling the schedule while the old man retires to the office around noon to have lunch and rest for a few hours, leaving the production in the hands of his employees. A delicious home-cooked meal awaits him, served on the desk next to a cup of hot black coffee, that's how he likes to drink it to this sturdy countryman who still maintains his strong muscles, despite the passage of time that has covered his hair with gray hair and has diminished his vision making him think soon of a well-deserved retirement, sharing some sweet words with his wife in this hour of rest.

  After taking a long sip of the drink, he observes that a concentric circle begins to form shaking the liquid, they are the vibratory waves of a surprising earth movement that makes the ground vibrate, until unleashing the fury of nature in a powerful earthquake. Eduardo grabs his wife and hides under the wooden furniture, while he watches how everything around him shakes strongly until one of the main beams of the roof breaks in two and falls against one of the boilers, completely collapsing the shed of the shed and leaving under the rubble some workers who were trapped without remedy.

  As soon as calm is restored, this natural leader rushes out to see how he can help his employees, fortunately, the earthquake gave most of them enough time to take shelter, except for the two youngest boys who were with the shovels, pushing the beans from the mountain of coffee towards the conveyor belt. With courage Eduardo leads the search among a great mass of concrete and roofing sheets, fortunately, the screams of the workers can be heard, who assure that they are fine, but they need help to get out.

  Joining forces under the orders of the man whom everyone respected like a father and without giving room for fear or nerves, inside an old building that was about to collapse completely, the crews formed a human chain to remove the rubble with shovels and crowbars, making a great effort that was finally rewarded, finding their colleagues safe and sound, although a little injured, a work of heroes that could only be carried out by capable men and united by the magic of coffee, as if they were a family.

HELLO dear friend, a pleasure for me to see my story, taking advantage of the theme of danger in the factory I wanted to take a positive side highlighting the values that coffee can bring out in human beings such as friendship, union and family, I hope you like my point of view. I hope you like my point of view.

Would a Juan Valdés be able to generate this fraternal feeling in his workers and guide them to stay united in such difficult times?

I loved the idea of imagining Eduardo with the attire of the logo of the certified coffee of Colombia, a straw hat and a ruana of Andean colors, wonderful.

It is said a lot that growing and processing coffee unites the people that work in it, and it is demonstrated by the constant initiatives and cooperatives of small entrepreneurs that do not stop emerging, they learn from the big companies and recognize that working with a united team makes the difference.

So your story is quite faithful to the character of the coffee industry, I like that, inspiration from reality itself, I was afraid that you would start talking about blood and evil entities hahaha you already have us alarmed hahaha

Hello dear friend, thank you for stopping by to read my story. Certainly, the best inspiration to write something usually comes from life itself, in this case, I wanted to bring to the table of options that hidden value that unites people in an emblematic work of this region of South America as is the cultivation and processing of coffee, from where human and cultural ties arise so strong that are able to unite everyone even in the most difficult moments, besides I also wanted to highlight the great achievement and commitment that means having a coffee with the mark of certification of origin, which makes it even more complex. I hope you like it. A big hug.
