ABOUT EL MIRADOR-From our pals at Apex Imports
El Mirador is a 32-hectare farm located near
the town of Pitalito in Huila. Elkin Guzman’s
family has a history of over 70 years in the
coffee business, 12 of which were dedicated
to researching post-harvest processing
techniques. 30 Hectares of the farm are
dedicated to growing exotic coffee varieties
like Catiope, Mokka, Tabi, Geisha, as well as
Orange, Striped, and Pink Bourbon. The
remaining hectares of land are used to grow a
Caturra variety for experimental lots. During
harvest, a process of meticulous selection of
ripe cherries allows only the sweetest fruits
to be passed on. Elkin has standardized the
workflow and processing procedures to
ensure consistency and quality control at
each step. His innovative approaches to
fermentation and immaculate attention to
detail have made this farm a benchmark in
the industry for the quality lots it produces.
His passion and eagerness to learn continues
to impress us as this year's harvest is even
more exciting than the last.
