What A Matter of Concrete says about this coffee
El Mirador is a natural Chiroso from Santa Isabel, Tolima, produced by Arsenio Sandoval.
Santa Isabel sits high in the northern part of Tolima, deep in the Central Andes of Colombia. The town itself is already positioned at serious altitude, while the surrounding farming zones stretch even higher towards the páramos and the snowline of Nevado de Santa Isabel. Cool air, volcanic soil and stable mountain conditions make this part of Tolima especially well suited to slow, structured coffee production.
Arsenio Sandoval was born into coffee. After inheriting part of his father’s farm, continuing the work came naturally. For years, he focused on traditional varieties such as Caturra and Colombia, chosen for their stability, adaptability and suitability to the local climate.
The farm is still family run. His children are also involved in coffee production, including his son Edward, who has become recognised for producing high quality parchment coffee through careful harvesting, controlled fermentation and uniform drying. Inspired by the results Edward achieved with Chiroso, Arsenio began incorporating the variety into his own production.
This lot brings together that family knowledge…

What the roaster says about where it came from
We report what the roaster publishes and we have not checked any of it independently. A fact nobody publishes is not a fault of the coffee: almost no roaster in the UK states an importer or the price paid to the producer.

A further 3 facts on this page were read from part of the shop page that holds no sentence — a menu or a product grid — so there is nothing to quote for them.
Taken from the roaster’s own pages, and nothing here has been verified by us or by an independent body. What we store is a passage of page text cut around the fact, so one shown with an ellipsis is a passage we cannot see the start or the end of; only the fully quoted ones are complete sentences.
