Jorge isn’t just a coffee producer—he’s a forestry engineer who’s built El Jaragual with sustainability at its core. Alongside pine plantations, his coffee trees grow under plantain shade, creating the ideal environment for Castillo, Colombia, Pink Bourbon, and Gesha. Soon, he’ll add Typica Mejorado and Sidra to the mix.

His processing approach is just as considered. For this coffee, washing, yeast inoculation and thermal shock are used. Cherries are picked at peak ripeness, sorted, and left to oxidise for 24 hours before being pulped dry. A second oxidation step breaks down the mucilage before the beans are washed at 45°C, triggering a thermal shock. Fermentation lasts 62 hours with carefully selected yeast, then a final cold wash at 5°C seals in the flavours. After 76 hours of controlled drying, the coffee is stabilised and ready to go.

Name Jorge Mira

Location Amalfi, Antioquia See on a map

Located at 1,500 meters above sea level in the Amalfi municipality of Antioquia, El Jaragual is a 150-hectare family-owned farm managed by Jorge Mira. Nestled in the heart of the Colombian Andes, this region offers the perfect environment for growing high-quality coffee, with rich soil, ample rainfall, and cool mountain air.

Jorge, a forestry engineer by trade, has infused his expertise into El Jaragual, where much of the farm is dedicated to sustainable forestry. Alongside pine plantations for timber, the farm also nurtures seven coffee varieties, including Castillo, Colombia, Pink Bourbon, and Gesha, all grown under plantain shade trees. New cultivars like Typica Mejorado and Sidra are set to join the farm’s lineup soon.

The coffee at El Jaragual is processed with care and precision, using extended fermentation, yeast inoculation, and controlled temperature processes to enhance complex aromas. This careful balance of traditional methods and modern techniques creates a cup that is both unique and full of character—showcasing the best of both innovation and heritage in Colombian coffee.
