Washed Double Fermentation
Huila is arguably Colombia’s best-known region for high quality coffee microlots. Huila’s geographical accessibility, dense population of knowledgeable farmers, warm and subtropical forests, high elevations, and microclimate diversity have for many years sustained one of specialty coffee’s most beloved regions. The fact that most of the department is harvesting coffee almost every month of the year, means that fresh coffee is always available.
Multi-farm blends in Colombia are practically a necessity for exporters, given that the country’s 500,000 producers average only a single hectare or so. This microlot is a unique twist on the status quo, combining the pickings of one very rare cultivar grown on 14 different farms in the same small region, giving us a sizable representation of genetics and terroir.
Records indicate that the cultivar we know as Java was selected from a few mother trees in Ethiopia by the Dutch coffee researcher P.J.S. Cramer in 1928.
Flavor
Incredible richness and complexity. Medium body - buttery in texture, yet clean. Bright and citrus forward with hints of blackberry, cranberry, and tamarind, and sweetness like ripe peaches or nectarines. Absolutely incredible coffee!
