El Mirador

Our first coffee from the 2026 harvest comes from El Mirador, the two-hectare farm of Herculano Vásquez López in the mountains of Huehuetenango, Guatemala. A second-generation coffee producer, Herculano has spent over a decade cultivating El Mirador with a deep commitment to his family and the land, using compost, coffee pulp and other natural materials to nourish healthy soils.

Carefully washed and dried on-site, this lot showcases the remarkable clarity, balance and elegance that have made Huehuetenango one of the world's most celebrated coffee-growing regions. We are delighted to begin another harvest season with Herculano's coffee and welcome El Mirador to the Dukes lineup.
