Altitude: 1700 - 1850 MASL
Preparation: Fully Washed
Location: Alto del Obispo, Huila, Colombia
Variety: Caturra, Colombia, Castillo
Profile: Chocolate, Raspberry, Caramel
Whilst Huila is naturally blessed with optimal coffee growing geography, the key to great quality coffees from the areas around San Agustin (such as this lot) are the growers themselves. Coffee farming within the region is overwhelmingly small-scale. Indeed, approximately 80% of producers from the region farm coffee on less than 3 hectares of land. These small farms are tended by individual families with labour only rarely being contracted out, which leads to more thorough and intensive management practices and great pride in the final product – which is, itself, an extension of the family.
We love this coffee as a drinkable, daily espresso. A little lighter in body and sweeter than our Brazilian offering. Thank more caramel and chocolate rather than nuts and chocolate. Versatile when it comes to brew methods and definitely firmly in the crowd-pleaser category!

“Well, we shacked up swift abandonment way
Catchin’ sweet rain inside a beret
In it, I’m reflecting all of the day
And I will fade in the night, yeah
