Misael Guarnizo is the owner of Finca El Mirador near Tarqui in Huila. The 1-hectare farm is home to about 4200 coffee trees. This coffee is picked and left to rest in its cherry for 12 hours. It is then depulped and placed in sealed containers for 60 hours to ferment. Once fermentation is complete, the coffee is washed and taken to the stretchers for drying. Guarnizo uses both parabolic dryers and African raised beds. Drying typically takes around 25 days.
 
Pink Bourbon: Cultivated from hybridization of Red and Yellow Bourbon. It's very rare, but the producers say it is quite resistant to rust. Pink and Orange Bourbons are very difficult to produce with consistency. The recessive genes leading to the expression of these colors are easily thwarted by the presence of yellow and red genes in a given pollen grain. A carefully isolated and contained lot can do quite well and preserve the unique color and character of this variety, though this is quite hard to find.
