ABOUT THE COFFEE

IN FOCUS: Colombia Elkin Guzman

Producer & Farm
For those of you unfamiliar with Elkin Guzman, we're here to tell you that he happens to be one of the most influential and widely recognized producers in the industry. Guzman is known for pioneering controlled fermentation techniques that have reshaped expectations for Colombian coffees. His work at Finca El Mirador is studied across the industry, and access to most experimental lots remains limited, making this partnership especially meaningful for us.

Varietal & Process
This lot starts with his Pink Bourbon varietal, already making it quite special, but also undergoes Guzman’s signature Pink Champagne process: a washed profile guided by a fruit‑conditioned mother culture developed through his multi‑stage fermentation research. The fruit never enters the coffee directly, but its microbial and organic matter influence shapes the fermentation with precision through its yeasts, acids and metabolites, resulting in elevated clarity and a distinct, expressive profile.

The process is chemically transformative, altering sugar pathways, acid development, and ester formation, while maintaining the clarity expected from a washed coffee, and preserving the essence and nuance of the Pink Bourbon varietal in this lot. 

Cup Profile
The resulting cup is incredibly dynamic with pink moscato and sparkling champagne, joined by sweet blueberry compote and lavender lemonade. There is also a really fun, fruity pebbles cereal note that is carried by a sweet, buoyant finish. We’ve roasted this lot to preserve articulation and balance, allowing Guzman’s fermentation work to complement — rather than overshadow — the inherent qualities of Pink Bourbon.
