Tasting Notes
Usually, naturals aren’t going to get as dynamic of a range of flavor profiles as their washed process counterpart, but this coffee comes forth with an extremely wide array of various sweetnesses and acidities. An underlying thick-bodied honey sweetness sits below pops of berry, mango, and fresh pineapple. Pay attention as it cools and you get a muted cacao-like bitterness that pulls this exquisite Colombian cup together for a perfectly balanced fruity coffee.
El Mirador Coffee Production
Alonso is a dreamer! He is from Acevedo-Huila, where he has his farm, El Mirador. He lives with his wife, his 3 sons, and his grandsons! His focus on coffee is to always be improving every day, and that has been his journey over the last 8 years when he was introduced to the specialty world of coffee. Nowadays, Alonso not only has become a great specialty coffee grower but instead he has also included many of his friends and family who are involved in coffee to work towards quality instead of quantity. He also comes from the 2nd generation of coffee growers, which created a very special bond with this crop and his dream is to be in it for his whole life!
