Story
Finca La Candela belongs to the Lotero Cano Family. A third generation of coffee farmers living in La Loma Del Guamo village in Titiribí town in Antioquia. Alberto Lotero, the father bought a big portion of the farm 8 years ago from another coffee farmer and neighbor named Luis Rios. Alberto and his family owned some lots already but most of the farm was acquired then. There are currently 10.000 threes on the plantation but this family started out with 4.000. Alberto Lotero and Gloria Cano met in 1985. Today they are a family of five, two daughters and one son. The Lotero family is a clear example of a traditional coffee producing family in Colombia. They are hard working and family oriented with strong values and principles.
