Colombia El Mirador

In the cup, we found aromas of cherry and malted chocolate, followed by a creamy milk chocolate body and sweet honey-like notes that remind us of Ovaltine and Honey Nut Cheerios. Brewed as a pour-over, the chocolate sweetness takes center stage, while immersion methods like AeroPress reveal subtle hints of pear beneath the surface. The result is a smooth, satisfying coffee with a familiar sweetness and just enough complexity to keep you coming back for another cup.

Roast Level: Medium

Finca El Mirador is a small farm owned and operated by Jose Jadir Losada and Kyle Bellinger in the village of Picuma. Since partnering here, they have nearly doubled its size (from 11 to 23 hectares) while remaining committed to producing exceptional coffee and providing well-paying jobs for local workers during harvest.

Processed using a traditional washed method, this coffee showcases the sweetness, balance, and clarity that have made Colombian coffees renowned worldwide. The result is a smooth, chocolate-forward cup that highlights both the careful work happening at El Mirador and the unique character of Huila's coffee-growing landscape.
