Colombia La Familia Guarnizo

This coffee comes to us through a strong relationship between Joe Coffee and the El Paraiso growers’ association in Huila, Colombia. From the beginning of our roasting adventure, El Paraiso, in association with importer/exporter Caravela, has connected us with a number of excellent, high quality Colombian coffees.

This bright and light-bodied selection was grown by a special group of El Paraiso’s member farmers: the Guarnizo family. Featuring notes of stone fruit and almonds with a medium acidity, this coffee is a customer favorite.

From the Huila region of Colombia, this lot comes from the Guarnizo family, whose coffee has been roasted by Joe Coffee to showcase stone fruit and almond flavors. Huila coffees are known for their balanced, nuanced profiles, and this particular selection appears to deliver on that potential with its primary flavor descriptors pointing toward both fruit-forward and nutty character. The combination of stone fruit and almond suggests a coffee that bridges brightness and body—a characteristic often found in well-executed Colombian microlots. Buyers seeking complexity within a familiar origin profile may find this lot worth exploring.
