COLONIAL COFFEERafael
Acevedo the owner of Colonial Coffee Roaster’s grandfather Luis F.
Bohorquez, Bucaramanga’s largest exporter of green coffee beans,
established
what would become Colonial Coffee in Bucaramanga, Colombia. Mr. Acevedo’s
father, Abelardo Acevedo, grew the family’s roasting operation,
eventually
making it the most successful roaster in the region. A second roasting
location
repeated the success of the first, and through good partnerships, an
eye for
opportunity, and a commitment to quality, the business kept growing. In the 1970’s, the family acquired the oldest
brand name coffee in Bogota, Colombia - Cafe Colonial.
Over the years,
successful coffee
relationships have been established throughout the world.
Today, we purchase the finest beans from
top-tier growers in Central and South America, Asia, and Africa.
At Colonial Coffee
Roasters, coffee is our
heritage. Coffee is what we know; it is
what we do; and it is what we take pride in. In each bag, each cup, you
will
taste the difference that comes from three generations of dedication to
the enjoyment
of the world’s best coffee…from our family, to you.
