Hispanic, November 2007, Spice; Pg. 19, A Feast For The Senses, Fernandez, Idy "The history of Ospina Coffee is intrinsically linked to that of Colombia. It dates back to 1835, only a few years into the creation of the Republic, when Don Mariano Ospina Rodriguez, a coffee pioneere searched the mountains of Antioquia for the place to grow the perfect bean of coffee. He set up his plantation and went on to become president of Colombia in 1857. His son, Don Pedro Nel Ospina, carried on the tradition, not only by taking the reins of the coffee plantations, but also by taking reins of the country and being elected president in 1922. Mariano Ospina-Perez, grandson of the founder, went on to run the company, and also to found the National Federation of Coffee Growers of Colombia, organizing the nation's coffee industry and making it one of the leading products produced in the country. He too became president in 1946." --Grancafé 16:55, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
