Huila
Of the many growing regions in Colombia, the mountainous department of Huila in the south west of the country grows the most coffee. It is also the region of the world where we source the most coffee!
Huila enjoys a wide diversity of micro-climates, temperatures, altitudes and coffee varieties. In fact, coffee is grown in 35 of Huila's 37 municipalities. All of this means that the coffee coming out of this region is as diverse as the variables that influence its production.
Field Blend
This coffee is a field blend from the contributing producers consisting mainly of Caturra, Castillo, and Tabi.
Washed EA Decaf
While these coffees are traditionally washed, they are also decaffeinated using Ethyl Acetate, a naturally occurring compound found on most fruits and on sugar cane. The compound inherently adheres to caffeine allowing decaffeination without chemicals and while producing coffee that is still sweet, flavourful, and terroir driven.
