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.

They give us the opportunity to show our products in international markets in which we have found tremendous support for the sustainability of our farm and family."
“Three years ago I started working on the farm as a producer but have helped my parents and grandparents on their farms since childhood."
“I have managed the farm well with respect to coffee quality by paying close attention to fertilization, picking, floating cherries, clocking fermentation times and drying under shade."
“The goal is to produce coffee of 88 points and higher."
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.
