Country: Colombia
Region: Huila
Varietal: Yellow Colombia “Amarillo”
Process: Washed
Altitude: 1700 - 2000 MASL
Description: This coffee comes from a group of 70 family farms in the area surrounding Pitalito, Huila, a region renowned for its high-quality coffee. What you have here is a blend carefully crafted by our partner at origin, exclusively from the Colombia Amarillo variety, known for its sweetness and balanced profile.
Historically, many small producers in Huila sold their coffee to local intermediaries with little bargaining power. This project seeks to change that dynamic. By joining together, producers receive technical support and are able to create larger, more consistent quality lots, opening the doors to specialty markets and ensuring a fairer payment for their work.
This single strain variety: “Colombia”, is well known among coffee growers for its resistance to rust, a disease that affects coffee plants. This “Amarillo” version is a natural mutation whose cherry, instead of ripening to a red color, ripens to an intense yellow. Many tasters and producers associate this color with a more delicate cup profile, with accentuated sweetness and more defined citrus and floral notes. What’s interesting about this coffee is its process.
There are 70 producers who deliver their lots already processed. Each farmer is responsible for depulping, fermenting, and washing the coffee on their own small farm. Drying is a key factor for quality: it is carried out on raised beds under solar canopies. This method protects the beans from rain and promotes slow, even drying, which is essential for the longevity and clarity of the coffee’s flavor. In the end, each of these micro-lots is cupped to create the final blend. This way of working results in a coffee that has the consistency of a good regional lot, but with flashes of the complexity contributed by the individual farms. It is a traceable, sweet, and complex coffee that perfectly represents the collaborative work in Huila.
Tasting Notes: A wonderful more traditional tasting Colombian coffee. Lower acidity, medium bodied, nice and nutty with hints of brightness, spice and cocoa.
