Finca Las Mercedes is nestled high up on the steep slopes of the Eastern Colombian Andes. Don Heladio and his family run their farm with the utmost care and respect for their coffee trees and the environment in which they exist. Not only do they produce exceptional coffee, but they do it sustainably and environmentally consciously. The farm is surrounded by a green barrier of native plants and trees that the family have planted themselves, bringing animal and birdlife back to the area. It is a privilege to work with producers like the Ossa family.
