Luis Guzmán Papayo Espresso

Each season, we travel to Colombia to visit the Department of Huila, one of the best areas in the country for growing healthy, high-yielding coffee plants. Last year, Joaquín participated as a judge in the municipal championship in Guadalupe, where several emerging producers presented their coffees. This allowed us to connect with Luis, who presented his coffee and achieved 2nd place.

Luis Carlos Guzmán is a third-generation producer, following in the footsteps of his parents and grandparents. In 2009, he acquired his farm, El Diviso, located in the mountainous region of Huila. His experience, rooted in tradition, combined with his pioneering and meticulous approach to fermentation and drying processes, is making him stand out in the region with his lots.

After a selective harvest, the coffee is washed and then sun-dried for about 20 days until it reaches optimal moisture.
