About this coffee
In the cup, expect notes of milk chocolate, molasses and citrus fruit.
Huila is a mountainous region that lies in the southwest of Colombia between the Eastern and Central mountain ranges, in the Colombian Massif, where they meet. It is nestled on the flanks of the Andes near the Nevado del Huila volcano, the second highest peak in Colombia. The rich soils and lush climate are ideal for coffee as well as for numerous other crops, including yucca, sugar cane, bananas, cocoa and beans. Huila regularly produces award-winning coffees, and the department's general taste profile is known to be balanced and sweet, with dynamic acidity.
The quality of the local coffee is highly influenced by the high elevations and the resulting low average temperature and the temperature variations during the day. The so-called average daily thermal differential reaches almost 12 degrees Celsius - one of the highest in the country among the coffee growing areas - resulting in one of the most complex and satisfying taste profiles among the best of Colombian regional coffees.
