A Family Tradition
Our story began on our family coffee farm in Salazar, Colombia, with our grandfather, Don Jose, a coffee farmer and roaster who passed his knowledge and passion for coffee on to our mother, Angela.
Growing up in Salazar, Angela learned to roast from her father. As a child, Joe watched them both work and developed his own love for coffee, eventually bringing those family traditions to the UK.
After the birth of his son Jadon, Joe started Colco Coffee with a vision of regenerating the family farm while making a positive impact for future generations. With the arrival of his daughter Lola, that purpose has only grown stronger.
Today, we remain a family-run business built around Family, Community, Sustainability and exceptional coffee β striving to be the Coffee Lovers' Coffee of choice.
Coffee With a Purpose
Our family's connection to coffee began in Salazar, Colombia, with our grandfather Don Jose, a coffee farmer and roaster who passed his knowledge and passion for coffee down through our family.
Today, that connection gives Colco a bigger purpose. Our goal is to regenerate our family's coffee farm in Salazar and help create a sustainable future for the generations that follow.
Every bag of Don Jose coffee we sell helps us move closer to that goal, keeping our family's coffee story alive while building towards a future where the farm can once again thrive.
OUR COFFEE
Traditionally Hand Roasted
We carefully select coffees from around the world and roast them in small batches at our family roastery in Eton Wick. Our approach is rooted in the traditional roasting methods passed down through our family, while always looking for ways to bring out the best in every coffee.
From our Colombian Don Jose to our carefully crafted blends and seasonal coffees, we roast with the same care and passion that has been part of our family for generations.
