On the western side of Huila, you’II find Gigante, a coffee-driven municipality, with the western cordillera of Colombia on its side. Here, up in the mountains, Luis Carlos Gutierrez lives at his farm El Mirador with his wife Sandra' Milena Pardo. The farm was initially purchased by his grandfather Dagoberto Gutierrez, which eventually was passed on to Luis’s father, then to Luis Carlos Gutierrez. Luis Carlos has always been in love with coffee and is the person in charge of implementing new processes and continually learning at the farm.
Since he spearheaded the change towards the production of high-quality coffee, cherry picking has improved, as well as the processes. AII these changes have yielded good results, such as being able to reach the top 20 in the Cup of Excellence Colombia 2022. As of now, he is the only one of the children who stayed with coffee but feels proud of maintaining the family heritage and of what he has been able to achieve. The farm is a special place with an amazing view of the town of Gigante from the farm, hence the name El Mirador.
Luis Carlos begins his coffee process with careful picking of the ripe cherries to guarantee good quality, and then the cherries are taken to the wet mill located on the farm. There, the cherries are left to ferment inside bags for a period of 60 hours when the climate is cold and for 40 hours when the weather is warmer. When ready, the cherries are floated to remove the defective ones, which will float dueto their lower density. Afterwards, the cherries are taken to the drying area, where they will take about three weeks to dry. When ready, they’re taken to Caravela’s purchasing station in Gigante.
