Alonso Bustos plans to be on his farm every day for the rest of his life and improve it every day. His coffee is a result of conscious effort and intention, he says, and he wants those who drink it to know the time and care he put into it.

Alonso is a second-generation coffee producer who has been growing coffee for more than 50 years. He inherited Finca El Mirador through his wife. Today, they live on the farm with their three children and two grandchildren. Alonso's children inspired him to start producing specialty coffee in 2017. To further improve coffee quality, Alonso planted the Tabi variety, known for larger fruit and the ability to grow at higher altitudes. His grandchildren are interested in becoming coffee farmers of their own.

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.
