WE’RE DELIGHTED TO SHARE THIS EXCLUSIVE RELEASE OF EL MIRADOR FROM CAJAMARCA, PERU, IN COLLABORATION WITH OUR LOVELY FRIENDS AT BIG SUR.
WHEN THE BIG SUR TEAM REACHED OUT FOLLOWING THEIR AUGUST 2026 TRIP TO PERU, EL MIRADOR IMMEDIATELY STOOD OUT AMONG THE EXCEPTIONAL COFFEES THEY HAD DISCOVERED. WE KNEW IT WAS SOMETHING WE WANTED TO SHARE.
THIS RELEASE IS A CELEBRATION OF FRIENDSHIP, SHARED TASTE AND THE JOY OF CONNECTION THROUGH SPECIALTY COFFEE. WE HOPE YOU’LL LOVE IT AS MUCH AS WE DO.
FROM THE ROASTER
IN AUGUST, BIG SUR MADE THE TRIP TO CAJAMARCA, PERU, LEAVING JAÉN AT 5 A.M. AND CLIMBING THROUGH THE ANDES TO A 2,000-METER SUMMIT. EL MIRADOR MEANS "THE LOOKOUT," AND THE NAME FEELS ESPECIALLY FITTING.
THE COFFEE GROWS ABOVE 1,990 METERS AND IS FERMENTED AND DRIED AT 2,000, WHERE THE AIR IS HIGH AND COLD. PRODUCER YONISER, THE 2023 CUP OF EXCELLENCE WINNER, GAVE THIS WASHED GEISHA A DOUBLE FERMENTATION: 60 HOURS IN THE CHERRY, THEN 48 HOURS DRY. THE RESULT IS LAYERED AND FRUIT-FORWARD, WITH GARDENIA, LYCHEE, PEACH AND CRYSTAL GRAPE.
