About this lot
ORIGIN Located in southwestern Colombia, Huila is nestled in-between the Central and Eastern ranges of the Andes, with the middle area called the Magdalena Valley. The variation in elevation results in Huila being one of the country’s most unique and complex regions of coffee production. Its terroir, climate, and harvest cycles all contribute to the quality of coffee produced here. While Huila accounts for nearly 20% of the country’s production, 80% of coffee producers own less than three hectares per farm. PRODUCER Although this offering is not traceable to a specific farm, this lot is representative of a regional blend of fine Caturra, Castillo and Colombia varieties cultivated by smallholder producers in the central Huila region. Selectively picked, the ripe, red cherries are brought to the washing station to be de-pulped, soaked in fermenaion tanks for and dried on raised beds. Once
