About this coffee

Country : Colombia Region : Huila Farm: EL Mirador Varietal : Catiope Processing: Washed (Nectar Tropical) Altitude : 1600 m a.s.l. ABOUT THE FARM Some farms produce coffee. Finca El Mirador creates new possibilities. For years, Elkin Guzman has been among the most innovative producers in Colombia. On his farm in the Huila region, he develops proprietary fermentation methods, thanks to which his coffees are recognized by specialty lovers all over the world.Nectar Tropical is the result of his many years of experimentation with the co-fermented process – a combination of knowledge, experience, and the courage to push the boundaries of what modern specialty coffee can be. ROASTER'S OPINION This is exactly why I love specialty coffee. My first contact with Elkin Guzman was through Instagram in 2017. Back then, to me, he was one of those producers who were pushing the boundaries of what coffee could be. In 2021, his coffees appeared in the STORY Coffee Roasters offer for the first time. In June 2023, we met in person in Athens, and a few months later, I had the opportunity to visit Elkin on his farm in Huila and see with my own eyes the place where these extraordinary lots are created.Today, his coffees are regular guests in our offer and are something more than just another product on the shelf. They are a reminder that behind every cup there are people, relationships, and a shared passion for creating something exceptional. And the coffee itself? It is a true tropical bomb. Juicy mango, lychee, passion fruit, and starfruit combine with the creamy texture of a yogurt milkshake. The whole experience resembles a piña colada sipped under a palm tree somewhere on the Caribbean coast. Intense, surprising, and absolutely unforgettable. Store in a dry and cool place.
