Limited Release: El Mirador Colombian Coffee by Elkin Guzman

Exceptional Coffee from Huila, Colombia

Experience a truly remarkable coffee from one of Colombia’s most innovative producers, Elkin Guzman of El Mirador Farm. Nestled in the Palestina municipality of Huila, this farm is renowned for its meticulous cultivation and advanced processing techniques.

This micro-lot of Catiope and Bourbon varieties showcases the best of Colombia’s high-altitude coffee-growing regions. The farm’s sandy-loam and clay-loam soils provide rich nutrition, while semi-shade cultivation enhances temperature regulation and photosynthesis, resulting in a coffee that is both complex and vibrant.

Innovative Carbonic Maceration Process

Elkin Guzman’s expertise in processing shines through in this carbonic maceration lot, a method that intensifies flavor development:

• Whole cherries are fermented in CO₂-infused tanks for 96-144 hours.
• Pulped coffee is reintroduced into the must (fermentation juice) to further develop sugars and microorganisms.
• A second fermentation under CO₂ maceration lasts 72-96 hours, enhancing aromatic and acidic qualities.
• After careful washing, the beans undergo 18-25 days of drying, ensuring exceptional cup clarity.

Tasting Notes

Juicy, complex, and elegantly layered. Expect bright red fruit acidity, complemented by floral undertones and a silky, refined sweetness. This coffee delivers a vibrant, structured cup with a clean and lingering finish.

A must-try for coffee enthusiasts seeking a bold yet nuanced experience.
