ABOUT THE PRODUCERS:
HUILA
Huila state in south-western Colombia is associated with quality: higher acidity and distinctive cup profiles, fruit and caramel notes, sweet acidity, intense aroma.
Huila is in the Macizo Colombiano area where the three ranges of the Colombian Andes come together to form one massive range. This convergence and the influence of the Amazon and Pacific rivers creates unique micro-climates. These micro-climates are essential for creating the many different flavour profiles of the coffees in this region.
Producers often plant avocados and other tropical fruits amongst their coffee trees to bring cover and flavour to the coffee plants.
TOLIMA
Tolima, the second region in which these beans are sourced, is located in west-central Colombia. This region is fully enclosed by the Andean mountains and the Magdalena river basin, making it rather remote and challenging to access.
This coffee is produced in small farms in Planadas Tolima, a state committed to quality and to minimising environmental damage due to coffee production.

IT STARTS WITH THE BEANS
No matter how good your grinder, coffee machine or kettle is if you don't have high quality coffee beans you aren't going to have a good tasting coffee.
COMMON COFFEE PROCESSES
-
WASHED PROCESS
TRY A WASHED COFFEEWashed coffees (aka wet process) use water to remove the coffee seed from the cherry. This has the least amount of contact with the fruit and has a clean and often creamy taste. Washed coffees are commonly known to carry more flavours from the origin, terroir and variety rather than the processing flavours.
-
NATURAL PROCESS
TRY A NATURAL COFFEENatural coffees were popularised by producing countries that did not have as much access to water, this processing technique has since been adopted all over the world and tends to carry through a rich fruity flavour from the extended contact with the coffee cherries,
-
FERMENTED
TRY A FERMENTED COFFEEThere are many coffees that fall into this third category of coffee processing, the most popular being Anaerobic fermentation and Carbonic Fermentation (CM).
Expect funky fruity notes and an intense alcohol / boozey taste
