Archive: Colombia Elkin Guzman El Mirador Grind:WholeThis coffee comes from producer Elkin Guzman at his farm, El Mirador. Guzman and team constantly experiment with growing variables to improve the quality of the coffee. They use a semi shade system to optimize temperature and control photosynthesis. They hand pick the ripest cherries, sort them for quality, and dry them on raised beds to 10 11% moisture. The seeds are removed from the husk, sorted, bagged, and stabilized for export.
