From Farm to Cup:
El Mirador, located in the village of El Portal, is a 31-hectare farm managed by Elkin Guzman, who has over 70 years of family history in Colombian coffee. Elkin’s approach to coffee processing is based on more than a decade of post-harvest research. For each lot, Elkin’s team carefully selects the best processing method to highlight each coffee’s unique qualities.

The Strawberry Natural Process:
For this Catiope coffee, cherries are picked only when they reach 20+ degrees Brix, ensuring peak ripeness. After a detailed sorting, the cherries undergo a 330-hour fermentation with a strawberry-infused culture, which involves microorganisms cultivated with molasses and strawberries. This unique blend enhances the natural fruitiness of the coffee, bringing out the complex, sweet strawberry flavors in each cup.

Indulge in a coffee that not only showcases the unique terroir of Huila but also reflects Elkin's commitment to innovative and sustainable farming practices.
