Seasonal Single Origin Colombia
There are few countries more famous for coffee growing than Colombia, which is known for its rich, mild flavor. Colombia is also one of the few countries in the world that only grows Arabica beans, which in addition to excellent climate and elevation, is why Colombian coffee is considered higher quality.
Within Colombia, HUILA is a mountainous region in the south and the largest specialty coffee producing region. It is nestled on the flank of the Andes near the Nevado del Huila volcano, the second highest peak in Colombia. The rich volcanic soil and lush climate are ideal for coffee growing.
Farmers regularly produce Cup of Excellence winning lots, the gold standard for coffee beans, thanks to its bright acidity, sweetness, and strong fruity profile. It’s the fruity edge and lack of bitterness to Huila coffee that sets it apart from other Colombian coffees.
Also in 2013, it received Denomination of Origin status for coffee, putting it on a par with the status awarded to champagne, Roquefort cheese, and many other foods and beverages with unique, location-specific characteristics.
