A note from our supplier, Nordic Approach:
Finca El Mirador, located in the village of La Esperanza, Guadalupe, Colombia, sits at an altitude of 1,800 metres and spans 3.5 hectares. Owned by the Ardilla Tovar family, the farm is home to 20,000 coffee trees, primarily of the Castillo and F6 varieties. This farm has been operating for 40 years, with all family members actively involved in its day-to-day management.
The main harvest takes place between October and November, with a secondary harvest (Mitaka) from May to July. The family employs manual harvesting methods, assisted by six pickers during the season. They use traditional processes such as floating the cherries in water and fermenting the coffee in tanks, followed by drying the beans in parabolic dryers.
El Mirador is dedicated to producing high-quality coffee and has plans to invest in housing improvements to enhance living conditions on the farm.
Our coffee comes in craft paper bags which contain a plastic liner on the inside to guarantee freshness of our coffee. Please dispose properly at your local plastic trash container. The Village Coffee is roasted fresh every week, and best consumed within four weeks after roast date. Store your coffee in a dry, dark and cool place, avoid the fridge.
