About this Coffee
Luis Carlos Gutiérrez runs the specialty side of his family's coffee production in Huila. He is not the landowner — his father is — but he is the one who took it off the commodity track: quality-driven processing, new varieties, small lots decided on the beneficio rather than at the coop counter. By day he works the plots; by night he goes home to Garzón and his two daughters.
His brother still produces traditional parchment. Luis Carlos, a former quality analyst, experiments — Colombia, Caturra, Castillo, and Pink Bourbon, including naturals built by trial and error.
This lot comes from Finca Bruselas in the Kennedy vereda near Pitalito, Huila — twelve hectares under coffee alongside six hectares of native forest that feeds the village's water spring.
O'Henry, this natural Caturra lot, is named after the O'Henry peach — a variety known for its large size and deep, sweet flavor — echoing the ripe peach note that runs through the cup.
