About Carolina Posada of Colombia
Mina Rica is owned by Carolina Posada, a 3rd generation coffee producer from the Antioquia region of Colombia. Carolina’s passion is supporting emerging female voices in the coffee industry and supporting young coffee farmers so that they are encouraged to stay in the coffee business.
Mina Rica is the result of three generations of hard work, beginning with Carolina’s grandfather Mario. He owned a small farm, worked hard and made a living producing coffee. In 1960, he was murdered in an attempt to steal his coffee. Margarita, Carolina’s grandmother, was left pregnant and raising seven children. These were difficult times for her in the countryside, so she decided to move to the city in search of better opportunities. It was Carolina’s father who decided to continue the tradition of growing coffee. Now, Carolina has taken the torch.
