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 excite us as this year's harvest is even more ecstatic than the last.
