Finca El Mirador is owned and operated by Osito Coffee founders, Jose Losada and Kyle Bellinger. El Mirador, situated in the village of Picuma and just west of the beautiful Rio Suaza, has only two year-round workers. However, during the harvest, El Mirador ramps up its team to about 25 pickers. Finding pickers in this region of Colombia is not an easy feat, as there is more lucrative work in coca (the plant from which cocaine is derived) in nearby Caquetá. Kyle and Jose hope to encourage pickers to step away from this industry by offering wages far above the national average.
All of Our Coffee Bags are now Home Compostable!!
Please remove sticker valve before composting - Help us close the loop, for a sustainable future.
We've decided to evolve the way we send out coffee. Rather than limiting you to what we have already roasted in stock, we're allowing you to preorder whatever coffee you like in whatever size bag and we'll roast it just for you and send it fresh. So here's how to get the best of our 'SEND IT FRESH' program.
PREORDER SINGLE ORIGINS by MONDAY EVENING* - Anytime.
WE ROAST: Tuesday/Wednesday.
WE SEND IT: TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY (as soon as it's roasted)
*If you order Tuesday - Thursday: We'll send it if it's fresh and in stock. (On season Blend & Roaster Choice usually always available, please enter your mobile in checkout so we can get quicker responses from you if needed.)
*FRIDAY/MONDAY: We don't dispatch these days unless specially requested. We think it's better for you to have reasonably fresh coffee when it arrives, these days are too far from our roast days, and couriers move slower. So If you order Friday - Monday: Your order will be put on the list for roasting on Tuesday/Wednesday.
