Background:
Alonso Bustos says his coffee is the result of conscious effort and intention and he wants those drinking it to know the time and care he put into it. This unique Tabi lot takes a high-quality coffee variety and pairs it with his conscious effort and care to create a truly phenomenal coffee.
Alonso Bustos plans to be on his farm every day for the rest of his life and continue improving it each day. His coffee is the result of conscious effort and intention, he says and he wants those drinking it to know the time and care he put into it.
Alonso is a second-generation coffee producer who’s been cultivating coffee for over 50 years. He inherited Finca El Mirador through his wife. Today, they live on the farm with their 3 children and 2 grandchildren. Alonso’s children inspired his to start producing specialty coffee in 2017. To further improve coffee quality, Alonso has planted Tabi, a variety that’s known for larger fruit and its ability to flourish at high altitudes. His grandchildren are showing interest in becoming coffee farmers themselves.
This is a unique Tabi lot. Tabi is a cross between Typica, Bourbon and Timor created by CENICAFE. It was released in 2002 and combines coffee leaf rust resistance with the good cup quality of Bourbon and Typica. Similar to those two parents, Tabi is tall with long branches. However, Tabi has slightly larger fruits and seeds and can be grown at high altitudes, and in high density, with up to 3,000 trees per hectare. The name comes from the word “tabi,” meaning “good” in Guambiano, the dialect of a native Colombia tribe.
Colombia has been producing and exporting coffee renowned for their full body, bright acidity and rich aftertaste, since the early 19th century.
Colombia boasts a wide range of climates and geographic conditions that, in turn, produce their own unique flavors in coffee. This also means that harvest times can vary quite a bit. In fact, between all its different regions, Colombia produces fresh crop nearly all year round.
The increasing focus on the specialty industry is changing the way traders and farmers do business. It is becoming more common for farmers to isolate the highest quality beans in their lots to market separately. These higher-quality lots are often sold under specific brands or stories.
Besides its wide variety of cup profiles, Colombia has quickly expanded its certification options over the past 10 years. The most common certifications available are Fairtrade, Rainforest Alliance, UTZ and Organic.
