Finca El Mirador (Reinel Ceron)
Finca El Mirador is owned and managed by Reinel Cerón, who lives with his wife and three children on the farm. Specifically, his farm is situated in the region of El Bombo on the slopes of the Andes mountains. Thanks to the high altitudes, delicate climates, and rich soils, this area is an ideal place to grow coffee.
Cool evenings and warm days allow for slow maturation of coffee here, leading to the production of high-quality coffee. The coffee community is quite special, a group of close families supporting each other, working to grow some truly exceptional coffee in Colombia. Coffee is a way of life here.

Colombia is the third largest coffee-producing country in the world, and thanks to its vast array of unique microclimate, are able to have harvests throughout the year.
Commercial coffee cultivation began in the mid-1830s and spread so rapidly that throughout the twentieth century coffee already became the country’s leading export. A mountainous topography and many tropical micro-climates contribute greatly to Colombia’s reputation for ideal growing conditions, which – in turn – have helped Colombia establish itself as a recognisable origin around the world.
The diversity of coffee and profiles found across Colombia is enormous and coffee is harvested practically year-round depending on the region. The main harvest takes place from October to February with November and December being the peak months. There is also a second fly (or ‘mitaca’) crop several months later, again varying by region and microclimate.
