About This Coffee
The 60-70 producers that have contributed to this lot of coffee live in the charming towns of Tesalia and Teruel.
The department of Huila borders Tolima, and it’s the highest-producing region in the country. Huila boasts a chain of volcanoes, the Nevado de Huila, which historically has enriched the soils of the region, creating ideal growing conditions for coffee.
Huila has its own designation of origin, and it produces coffees renowned for their bright acidity, balanced body, and rich sweetness.
Coffee In Colombia
Colombia is one of the world’s top producers of Arabica coffee, and over the years the country has become synonymous with quality coffee. The country has nurtured its coffee industry over the years and the spirit of innovation is strong; new coffee varieties and processing innovations have come from Colombia as well as classic, balanced lots beloved by coffee drinkers.
Most of the country’s coffee is grown by small producers scattered in its many coffee growing regions. These coffee growers in rural Colombia have seen decades of low-intensity political conflict between paramilitary groups, guerrilla groups, and the government, though a peace deal approved in 2016 made great strides in the peace and reconciliation process.
