Finca El Mirador - Elkin Guzman - Pitalito - Huila - Caturra - Yellow Parabolic dryer (VacPack)

View Beanology

Elkin Guzman is the leading pioneer in the world of coffee producers.

Hailing from Pitalito, this extremely intelligent young farmer is using new technologies in amazing ways to improve his techniques in terms of cultivation, harvest, and process. The scrutiny and attention to detail that Elkin maintains are undoubtably paying off as he is now producing some of the most consistently impressive coffees we have ever seen come out of Colombia. His secret? Mentor Arnfulo Leguizamo.

When it comes to these parabolic dryer experiements, Elkin may be on to something. He is currently questioning whether or not different frequencies of UV light, filtered through colored plastics, can affect the flavor profiles of the coffees drying underneath. This is a truly ground-breaking experiment and one that could open up an entirely new factor in the drying process of great coffee.
