About This Coffee


The Region
The Huila region is well known for its coffee quality, but also for being the first historical department in Colombia to begin coffee production. Farmers in Huila are very quality-conscious. Their crops receive a lot of care and attention and they tend to be the most pioneering when it comes to embracing new processing and farming methods. The most relevant municipalities for coffee in Huila are: Pitalito, Garzón, Gigante, San Agustín, La Plata, Paicol, Acevedo, among others.
Huila coffee represents 18% of Colombian production. It is always in high demand and is often preferred as a single origin offering for its balance of acidity and sweetness. The Huilan landscape is dominated by volcanos and mountains, providing a rich terroir of high altitude and fertile soils and offering a wide range of ecosystems where coffee can be grown. There are producing farms ranging from 1,500 m.a.s.l. up to 2,300 m.a.s.l., conferring great attributes to the cup profile such as bright acidity and characteristic sweet notes.


The Process
This coffee is fully washed with an extended fermentation period after pulping. Coffee is harvested by Albaney and her husband and processed immediately on the same day. After pulping the coffee is fermented for an average of 64 hours and then thoroughly washed.
The coffee is dried in the sun on raised beds for 14-20 days. Albaney checks a few parchment beans, rubbing them between her hands to reveal the green beans underneath. She assesses their color and decides when to conclude the process. Afterwards, the coffee is tested in the lab to ensure the humidity level meets standards. With precision, she identifies the exact moment to finish the drying process, demonstrating her expertise in this crucial stage.
