This stunning Anaerobic Washed Chiroso microlot comes to us care of Don Victor Gutierrez, from his farm Finca El Mirador in San Agustin, Tolima. El Mirador was originally founded in 1972 by Victor’s father, José Elicio, on a perfect mountain-side plot at 1,730 masl.
Don Victor is a Q-Grader and coffee innovator who has cultivated 10 hectares of organically-grown coffee at El Mirador, with plots of traditional Caturra as well as exotic varieties such as Wush Wush, Pink Bourbon and Gesha.
This Chiroso microlot is one of the most delightful filter coffees we have tasted this year. Anaerobically fermented in full-fruit for 26 hours, followed by a further 30-hour mucilage ferment, this lot expresses intense ripe stone fruit notes thanks to the rare Chiroso variety and accentuated by the precise processing method Don Victor employed here. Enjoy one of our favourite coffees this season.

Finca El Mirador was founded in 1972 by Victor’s parents, Jose Elicio and Luz Elida Gutierrez, who began cultivating traditional Colombian varieties with the hope of establishing a stable source of income during the tumultuous civil war that engulfed Tolima from the early 70s onwards. Founded at a mild – by Tolima standards – 1500 to 1700 masl, in a rugged area outside the community of San Agustin, Finca El Mirador has consistently produced high quality coffees for decades. In 2010, Don Victor took over the farm and began to push coffee qualities higher and ever higher. After obtaining Q-Grader certification, Don Victor turned his cupping and quality lab (code-named ViCafe83) into a central point for coffee quality training and assessment in the region. He is actively training younger members of the coffee community to cup, assess and process coffees in order to gain higher scores and hence higher prices for their lots.
