Description: Finca El Mirador sits in San Vicente Pacaya, right near the slopes of the active Pacaya Volcano where fertile volcanic soil, layered microclimates, and a deep agricultural tradition all converge in one place. It's run by Ivonne Herrera, a young producer from a coffee family who bought this land in 2017 with a clear double purpose: build a serious specialty coffee project, and create real employment for women in Aldea Los Pozitos. That same year she exported her first 10 bags and stepped into the specialty market. Since then she's joined the Yave blockchain traceability initiative and, in 2023, started working with Funcafé to bring medical support to women and children in her community. We're drawn to El Mirador as much for what Ivonne is building around the coffee as for the coffee itself.

The farm spans 70 hectares and grows Bourbon, Catuai Amarillo, Anacafé 14, and Geisha. This lot is a blend of these varieties, processed as traditional washed, and shaped by that volcanic soil and elevation and the distinctive character it lends. In the cup, look for Stone Fruit, Lemon&Lime, Chocolate Ganache.
