Miguel Vera Nava, Espresso - Colombia | Therefore Coffee Roasters

For Miguel Vera Nava, coffee has always been a family affair. Raised in a coffee-growing household in Pitalito, Huila, he has dedicated more than five decades to cultivating coffee, carrying forward a tradition built on patience, hard work and a deep respect for the land.

Today, at Finca Buenos Aires, Miguel works alongside his wife, Luiz Miriam Vera, and their son. Together, they have created a farm where generations of knowledge are combined with an ongoing commitment to quality. While continually refining their production, the family's philosophy remains unchanged: grow exceptional coffee with care, integrity and pride.

Nestled among the hills of Huila beneath a canopy of native shade trees, Finca Buenos Aires reflects the region's rich coffee heritage. Miguel's coffees are an expression of place as much as they are of the family behind them, thoughtfully cultivated, carefully produced and shaped by more than fifty years of experience. It is this quiet dedication to craft that makes producers like Miguel such an important part of Colombia's specialty coffee story.

Therefore Coffee Roasters

We want to live in a world where coffee producers, their families and communities can thrive.

Unfortunately, the history of coffee production is intertwined with that of colonialism and slavery. Even today it is not uncommon for producers and workers to be faced with poverty, food scarcity, and child labour. Modern slavery still exists within the coffee producing industry.

Coffee is traditionally sold at a price that has nothing to do with farmer's living expenses (Read: C Price) and is often below the cost of production. We don't like the idea of Wall Street influencing how much our producers get paid on a given day. Our sourcing partners always pay premium prices based on cost of production and quality; not the market price.
