Huila stands out as one of the central regions in Colombia offering beautifully distinctive and diverse coffee flavour profiles. This collective lot is the result of the collaborative efforts of five coffee-producing families, a partnership that has only flourished over the last two decades. The farms, including El Cedral, San Antonio, La Union, La Primavera, and La Victoria, focus on cultivating primarily castillo, tambo F6, and colombia coffee varieties which are carefully handpicked at peak ripeness.

The shared aspiration among these producers in conjunction with their partners, Cuatro Vientos, is to invest in the welfare of their workforce, and the development of their farms' infrastructure and machinery.

Processing: Washed
Variety: Colombia, Castillo, Tambo F6 & others

Roaster's Notes

Amidst the wide array of innovative processing methods that have emerged within the region in recent years, there's nothing quite like a meticulously processed Colombia washed coffee. The secret to these lovely, clean lots lies in the region's high-altitude farms, rich volcanic soil, and optimal climate.

When roasting, an extended development time unlocks that extra layer of sweetness that sets this coffee apart. With its easy-drinking quality and seamless milk pairing, this coffee is an excellent choice for savouring and enjoying all day long.

COFFEE ORIGIN INFO

Tesfaye Bekele, a name synonymous with the transformation of coffee production in the Guji region, is a true visionary. Growing up in a family of coffee producers, his journey was initially marked by hesitancy knowing the challenges ahead, but fueled to continue by an enduring passion for coffee.

During Guji's bushfire crisis, Tesfaye took charge of restoring the scarred landscape by planting coffee trees, envisioning a more sustainable future. Despite initial doubts from the community, Tesfaye's resilience prevailed. Through government funding, he established a coffee seedling nursery. He left his government job and became a successful farmer himself which began to inspire others. More than just a farmer; he's a leader in eco-friendly coffee production and collaboration. He works with outgrowers, employs seasonal workers, and prioritises organic practices.
