La Mina may look just like many of the other small farms scattered across the rolling hills of the celebrated Colombian coffee community of Buesaco, but it is hardly common. The López family's selective cherry harvesting, obsessive selection, and meticulous processing have made La Mina one of the country's most decorated coffee farms, with five winning lots (and counting) at the prestigious Cup of Excellence competition. La Mina is the small farm with the big reputation.
