Colombia El Mirador Coferment

About This Coffee

The wonderfully funky Colombia El Mirado is an awesome new addition to our menu. Opening in the first sip with the iconic cocktail combination of Piña Colada. The harmonious blend of sweetness and tang is lifted further by another classic duo - the juicy, berry fusion of Strawberry Kiwi. This absolute unit of tropicality rolls into a fragrant, ethereal Purple Haze finish that lingers in your senses long after your cup is empty. This coffee is truly unlike anything we’ve had on our menu before. This coffee comes to us from El Mirador, a 32-hectare farm located in the town of Pitalito in Huila, Colombia. Elkin Guzman, owner of El Mirador, has been surrounded by coffee since he was born; his family has celebrated over 70 years in coffee, with over a decade of dedicated research in post-harvest processing techniques. His team utilizes multiple processing techniques depending on the individual lots of coffee, making their final decision based on which method is best suited to bring each lot to its fullest potential. This lot from El Mirador utilizes a special washed processing method that they refer to as Pink Champagne co-ferment. The variety is a hybrid crossing of Caturra and Ethiopia landraces - effectively named Catiope - a favorite of Elkin’s for its production and cup quality. This combination of unique variety and innovative processing makes for an incredible cup of coffee that we cannot wait for you to try.
