Sara Gutiérrez

Sara Gutiérrez produces coffee in the Quindío region of Colombia, operating at high-altitude conditions ranging from 1600 to 1900 meters. This geographic context underpins the cultivation of regionally adapted varieties. The varietal landscape represented in the catalog is dominated by Caturra, alongside plantings of the Colombia variety. Caturra forms the basis for several single-variety lots in the current selection. The process portfolio reflects a focus on non-traditional and specialty preparation methods. Observed treatments include honey processing, experimental fermentations, and carbonic maceration techniques. The catalog footprint for Sara Gutiérrez includes five total coffees, with three currently in-stock lots distributed across four different roasters. Four roasters currently carry these offerings, reflecting multi-roaster distribution within the index. Recent catalog entries highlight specific processing and varietal combinations, such as a Carbonic Maceration Colombia lot from Five Senses Coffee, an El Silencio Honey Caturra from Nowhere Coffee Roasters, and an experimental Beer Hops Caturra as well as a Rose Watermelon Honey Caturra from Five Elephant. An additional Caturra lot from Buenavista, Quindio is featured via Pier Coffee Roasters. The work of Sara Gutiérrez is characterized by a strong emphasis on experimental and honey-processed methods applied primarily to Caturra and Colombia varieties across multiple specialty roasters.
