About coffee
About the farmer and farm
Elkin Guzman grows coffee on his 31-hectare farm, Finca El Mirador.
Thanks to sufficient altitude and fertile soils, the Huila region is exceptionally well suited to growing high-quality coffee.
This lot uses the Catiope variety, an arabica cultivar resulting from a cross between Caturra and a local Ethiopian variety.
Catiope trees are fairly low-growing, allowing dense planting, and the cherries ripen evenly with a sugar level of 20–22° Brix.
Processing: yeast fermentation, 30 days in sealed underground barrels
For this lot, Elkin drew inspiration from ancient food storage and fermentation methods.
Only the ripest cherries are hand-picked, then sorted and treated with a citric acid solution.
The coffee is placed in barrels and oxygenated for 44 hours, then buried in prepared underground niches for 30 days, which keeps out light and holds a stable storage temperature.
After fermentation, it's dried with turning every 3 hours, taking about 25 days in total.
