"Ningún padre debería venir al mundo a ser el evangelista de su hijo, pero la misión de don Raúl es seguir contándolo todo".

Raúl Carvajal es un padre -y una figura emblemática de los años recientes en Colombia- que luchó durante años por encontrar justicia para el caso de su hijo: un joven y honorable cabo del ejército asesinado tras negarse a participar en los falsos positivos. En esta novela que retrata su historia, Silva Romero nos entrega su mirada iluminadora sobre el país para contarnos, con una prosa precisa y bella por estar tan próxima a la vida, el viaje demoledor de este personaje que va de la tristeza a la frustración, y su confrontación con los más distintos enemigos -la hostilidad estatal, el negacionismo, la persecución, el olvido- con tal de recobrar algo de verdad y un poco de dignidad.

El protagonista de esta vida y el escritor que acá la reivindica reconocen que, ante la nostalgia de no ser una víctima y la imposibilidad de vivir en paz el dolor, la reparación y el alivio consisten en nunca dejar de contar.

"Ricardo va dejando siempre en sus letras y en su obra las huellas que hay que seguir para encontrar el país que anhelamos. Este libro es sin duda un mapa para salir de nuestra encrucijada, escrito por uno de los artistas más lúcidos de nuestro tiempo". - César López

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"No father should find himself in the position of being his son's evangelist, but Don Raúl's mission is to keep on telling his story to the world."

Raúl Carvajal is a father who became an iconic figure in Colombia after spending years fighting for justice for his son: a young army corporal murdered after refusing to participate in the killings of "false positives" - innocent people labeled as enemy combatants by the Colombian military. In this novel based on his story, Ricardo Silva Romero uses precise and illuminating prose to trace the devastating journey of a father whose grief turns into frustration who comes up against an unexpected series of barriers: a hostile government, official denials, persecution and forgetting. In the process, he struggles to hold on to the truth and his dignity

Both the protagonist of this struggle and the author who takes up his cause understand that telling one's story can sometimes be the only way to avoid victimhood and resignation to a life of pain.

"Ricardo's works leave trails of breadcrumbs leading us toward the type of country we'd like to have. This book, too, is a guidepost for making our way through our current morass, aided by the vision of one of the most lucid artists of our time." - César López

Good Beginner Matcha
Flavor Name: Superior Blend, Size: 1.75 Ounce (Pack of 1), Flavor Name: Superior Blend, Size: 1.75 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I am a beginner Matcha enthusiast and I love i making matcha lattes at home (my favorite is Strawberry Matcha lattes). I have repurchased Superior Ceremonial 3× now. I am on my second 3.5 oz bag. I've also tried another well known popular affordable matcha (Jade Leaf) and I immediately decided it is better to splurge accouple more dollars in purchasing Naoki. The texture of the powder is extremely fine. The color is a beautiful dark vibrant green. The flavor is very light with a very low bitterness and a hint of sweetness on its own. It has a very clean taste. However, the flavor does get easily over shadowed by milk and sweetners in a latte. If you want to taste the matcha better you need to add more matcha powder (~4.5 grams). Considering the fact that I am not drinking Matcha traditionally, I do not need a flavor profile that is super complex like what other matcha enthusiasts rave about (often times their recs are super overpriced for its size and/or hard to get). I just need something that will be paired well when used with milk and sweetners. I look for matcha with good quality, affordability, and easy accessibility to repurchase (via Prime adds extra brownie points). Superior Ceremonial checks all the boxes to a first good intro to matcha!

absolute favorite!
Flavor Name: Superior Blend, Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I’ve been using Naoki Matcha Superior Ceremonial Blend for about two months now, and I absolutely love it. It has a very smooth taste with no bitterness at all, and it whisks into the most beautiful silky microfoam. The flavor is mild with a nice subtle umami taste, which makes it really enjoyable to drink every day. My favorite way to make it is as a strawberry matcha latte—it tastes just like something you’d get at a coffee shop. If you’re looking for a high-quality ceremonial matcha that tastes smooth and not too strong, I highly recommend this one. I will definitely be buying it again!

Delicious at the right temperature
Flavor Name: Superior Blend, Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
160 degrees Fahrenheit is the perfect temperature to reduce bitterness in this matcha. 170 and 175 produced more bitterness. It’s smooth, savory, not bitter, mixes easily, and is delicious purely on its own (not in a latte). It’s a great value for drinking alone and probably on the more expensive end if you sweeten or add milk.

Not bad
Flavor Name: Superior Blend, Size: 1.4 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Great if you like a more subtle flavor, not bitter. If you just add it to milk then it has a slight very brief strong aftertaste, but I like mine a bit stronger. it mixed well it did not clump for me, it was a great vivid color. I will say I prefer a strong, bold matcha taste in my lattes so I do not think I would purchase again but overall it is a great option for beginners, people trying to figure out what they like, or folks who like a smoother, not bitter taste. The tin did come dented unfortunately, not a huge deal but also not great to receive a product that has been somewhat damaged.

Reliable favorite kitchen tool
Color: Blue
This wonderful tool may be the most used tool in our kitchen. The hardest thing about it is to remember you can push the button and it runs- you don't have to hold it!. The charge on the rechargable battery last a long time- about 1 recharge per month- and we use it daily. We use the mixer attachment most. It works great for protein powders, collagen, iced tea or lemonade mix. It cleans easily and is waterproof- just make sure the cover is over the charging port. We have used it to froth milk, whip eggs, and as I said we use it daily to mix beverages. I worried about the price, but it is a great value because we bought it in December 2024 and it is more powerful and has already lasted longer than two whimpy ones.
