Colombia Huila Finca El Guayacan-Anaerobic Natural (E)

Miriam Quesada Enciso has owned her 3 hectare coffee farm, El Guayacan, for the past 15 years. El Guayacan is a beautiful specialty coffee farm located 1550 meters above sea level in Acevedo, Colombia. Miriam is a second-generation coffee grower and acquired this farm from her ex-husband when they divided their property. She now runs El Guayacan with her husband Libardo, who has spent his life producing coffee.

At El Guayacan, they are strive to continuously improve and evolve their processes to deliver the best quality coffee possible. The cherries are handpicked from the trees and they give incentives to the pickers to get the best quality, ripe cherries. For this anaerobic lot, all processing was completed on the farm. The ripe cherries were placed in bags with no water for four days and then delivered to Cuatro Vientos to complete the drying process.
