WE ARE PROUD TO SUPPORT GROWERS IN COLOMBIA AND BEYOND
Director of Osito Colombia, Jose Jadir Losada, was born in the heart of Huila’s coffee producing region. The relationships he has built over decades of work in Colombia’s coffee industry are the foundation of Osito's Colombian supply chain. Osito has taken this approach beyond Colombia and to our purchasing in other corners of the globe.

“I have worked for 18 years on my farm. Before me, my parents and grandparents were also coffee producers."
“We have invested in many areas. The first is the processes associated with fermenting and drying the cherries. We have also implemented clean / organic production. This improves the health of our soil, the environment, our employees and the consumer."
“Our goal is to sell all of our coffee as specialty grade to Osito."
(Note: although appreciated, we did not pay him to say this!)
We are also farm owners and coffee growers.
Our bond with growers is rooted in our shared understanding of what goes into growing coffee. Huila is where Jose was born and raised, and it is also where Jose and Kyle’s (our CEO) farms are located. Our experience growing coffee in Colombia allows us to facilitate real relationships between roasters and growers across the globe.
