WHY WE LOVE THIS COFFEE // Fun Fact: Head Roaster Michel visited this farm on his recent trip to Colombia! "El Mirador" means "The View" and one can see why it's named that in the short video Michel filmed above. We buy all of our Colombian coffees from Juan Carlos Arango who founded and runs the Arango export/import coffee company. The Arango tag-line is “Relationship-Driven Coffee”, which we greatly appreciate. Working directly with Juan Carlos and building long term relationships helps everyone, from the farmer to the roastery, to build a more sustainable and equitable business and life. Edy and her husband, Erney, have worked together with coffee for over 20 years. Despite growing up on a coffee farm, Edy points out that she learned to grow and produce coffee with her husband. She explains that, as a female, the focus was on learning household chores rather than about coffee and farming.As they raised their three children at El Mirador, Edy and Erney were sure to teach them about all aspects of the farm. They considered it equally important to the education the children received in school. Edy is proud that El Mirador provided the income need to raise a family and hopes that her children want to continue growing and producing coffee in the future.
