Canta Ranas
Expanding across the eastern slopes of the Andes in the central West of Colombia is the department of Tolima. This region is the third-largest coffee producing area in Colombia thanks to its climbing altitudes and ideal climates. Additionally, the Magdalena River basin carves through Tolima, bringing fresh water and nutrients to the soils.
It is here where Edward Sandoval has his farm, Finca Canta Ranas, which translates to mean ‘singing frogs,’ named after the many frogs that chirp near the local creek during the night. Edward is a third-generation coffee producer who actually studied Agroindustrial Engineering and worked in coffee quality assurance in both the public and private sectors for over 14 years.
One day, he decided he craved a change of pace, and bought an area of land near his parents and planted coffee. Initially, he cultivated Chiroso, Gesha, Moka, Wush Wush, Caturra, and Bourbon. Thanks to his experience in the coffee industry, he had extensive knowledge about quality and which varietals to plant. This allowed his farm to prosper and gain prominence throughout Tolima.

Our coffee is treated with care
Meticulous Quality
We hope to provide our customers with the best and therefore pay close attention to all factors affecting the quality of our coffee. These include cultivar, growing altitude, climate, soil chemistry, harvesting and processing conditions, drying method, storage conditions, transportation, roasting conditions, grind size, brewing water and brewing recipes.
Highly Curated
Each one of our coffees is carefully selected by our roasting team. Before we buy in bulk, we go through many samples from different specialty coffee estates. Often times we are working with the most renowned coffee producers in the world.
Small Batch Roasting
All our coffee is roasted in our Roastery in Westbahnstraße 13, in Vienna. We roast small batches (10kg max) because we have better control over all the parameters that impact the flavour profile and can therefore better guarantee consistency.
Ethically Sourced
We ensure traceability for all our coffees. Our house Espresso from Nicaragua is directly traded without any middle-men and when we go through a wholesaler, complete transparency is a must. We want to provide our customers with the ability to know where their coffee comes from down to the name of each farmer.
