About us
We are initially brewers with over 20 years of experience and passionate about the beverage industry. In 2018, we decided to venture into the world of specialty coffee with COLO COFFEE ROASTERS, inspired by Colombia, the richness of our people, and our land.
Our purpose is to select, roast, and serve the finest cups of coffee from Colombia, and for this, we work hand in hand with coffee growers so that they can produce better coffees every day. We believe that this commitment to quality will lead people around the world to get to know Colombia through COLO coffees.
SUSTAINABILITY
We care about the footprint we leave on the land where we harvest quality coffee, which is why we seek ways to make Colombia a greener land. We work hand in hand with coffee growers to produce specialty coffee in a conscious and responsible manner.
Since 2021, in partnership with Bosquenible, we measure, quantify, report, and manage the greenhouse gas emissions associated with all our operations: from farm to cup. In this way, we establish management and reduction strategies to mitigate the volume of generated emissions and offset those that cannot be avoided, aiming for future neutrality.
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS - SDG
At COLO, we act with purpose: the SDGs inspire our commitment to the planet and the community. Thank you for joining us!

WE ROAST IN FULL SUNLIGHT
One of the first major steps towards building the Comprehensive Sustainability Plan is our ROASTER, which is powered by UV rays through solar panels and generates fewer CO2 emissions.
This allows us to roast hundreds of kilograms of carefully selected coffee in a more environmentally conscious and responsible manner. Our master roaster develops the best profiles, all under the full sunlight, to serve you the finest flavors in your cup.
We harvest a land of opportunities
At Colo, we also seek the development and opportunities for coffee growers and farmers in rural areas of our country. That's why we support WBR (World Bicycle Relief), an international organization whose mission is to create access (through bicycles) to education, healthcare, and employment in areas of the country where transportation is a significant challenge. So join our initiatives and let's build a country of opportunities together.
HARVESTING WITH COLOR TO TRANSFORM LIVES
At COLO, we are committed to sustainability through our partnership with the Sanar Foundation, which supports children and young people with cancer. We collect plastic bottle caps at our stores to donate to the foundation, which converts them into new products, promoting the circular economy. This initiative contributes to resource conservation and waste reduction. We thank our customers and collaborators for their support in this cause.
ALIANZA CON MUTA: UN COMPROMISO CON LA ECONOMÍA CIRCULAR
At COLO, we have established a partnership with MUTA, an organization that transforms waste into opportunities. MUTA specializes in the recycling and utilization of used cooking oil, creating decent employment for families seeking personal growth.
As part of our commitment to sustainability, we donate paper, plastic, metal, cardboard, and glass generated in our operations to MUTA. This collaboration not only supports the circular economy but also promotes a more sustainable and supportive future.
“We've always made a living from coffee, our whole lives. My job is coffee: harvesting, fertilizing, everything the coffee machine requires. I've had many blessings from coffee; my children studied and continue to work in coffee.”
"I was born and raised in Mesitas del Colegio and I've always worked at this company. My whole life, I haven't left. Because you want your money for yourself, so I can buy whatever I can. Because, well, the husband doesn't have enough."
"From a very young age, my parents taught me how to pick coffee, and with this, I've been able to support my family. My father was retired from the coffee industry, and my wife also works in this field."
