FARMERS

This Colombia Light Roast is a coffee from a specific selection of producers located in the upper part of the municipality of Palestina, Huila at approximately 1,700 meters above sea level. This group of producers has established itself in the cultivation of coffee varieties such as Caturra and Tabi, in an area of approximately 2,750 hectares. Due to the conditions and microclimate, the coffees from this region differ from the rest of Huila in that they are more acidic and delicate, with fruity notes.

ROASTERS

This region is prized for its bright coffees that pop with balanced acidity and sweetness. As roasters, we love the consistency of this coffee. Between the hard work of the farmers and the state of the art dry mill that this lot passes through, the green is immaculate. We don’t like roasting this too dark because the flavors it expresses on the lighter roast spectrum are quite enjoyable: chocolate, almond, stone fruits, and citrus.

COFFEE LOVERS

This is a coffee you can’t go wrong with. In some ways it is a crowd pleaser -  it will be slightly on the more acidic and fruity side of the spectrum, but not full tilt. Balance is the name of the game here with this Huila coffee. This will perform well on just about any brew method. For stronger brews like espresso, the coffee will express its acidity more intensely and could taste sour if not extracted well. Safe bets for brewing will be french press, pour overs, auto drip, and aeropress.
