Altos del Paraíso is a unique expression within Finca El Paraíso.

Located on the highest plots of the farm in Nariño, this micro-terroir cultivated at ~2,000 meters above sea level offers a distinctive profile marked by altitude, climate, and the innovative approach of José Ignacio Gómez López.

As a key figure in the specialty coffee scene in Nariño, José combines tradition, sustainability, and technique to produce coffees with their own identity.

The farm operates as a living ecosystem, where coffee coexists with crops like citrus and avocados, promoting biodiversity and resilience.

The result is a balanced, sweet coffee with elegant complexity.

Process

Processed using the honey method, this coffee retains part of the mucilage during drying, enhancing sweetness, texture, and depth.

The use of specially designed solar dryers allows for precise process control, ensuring consistency and energy efficiency.

This approach highlights a clean profile but with greater body and complexity than a traditional washed coffee.

In the cup

In the cup, Altos del Paraíso presents a sweet and juicy profile with clear notes of red apple, cherry, and honey.

The acidity is balanced, the body medium, and the texture silky, with a long and sweet finish.

A coffee that combines accessibility with sophistication.
