About Me From young & innovative coffee producer Elkin Guzman of Finca El Mirador, this coffee is just one example of Elkin’s many experiments. The coffee is harvested at 24° Brix, depulped the same day it’s picked. After sorting, Elkin then puts the coffee through what he is calling an “anaerobic melazas” fermentation, melazas meaning ‘molasses’ in Spanish. The result is a delicious mix of red apple, plum & brown sugar flavours.
