SOL NOCTURNO

Initiated by one of our former Shipmates Luca, Sol Nocturno brings together a small community of people who feel like countering the anonymity in global supply chains with direct exchange and transparency.

The joint project „Sol Nocturno“ (named after a small coffee farm from Diego high in the mountains of Veracruz) springs from a close friendship and bond in similar values and goals between Diego and Luca, who met in México in 2019
