This excellent lot was processed by 15 female coffee farmers from the Asobombo cooperative in Huila. In the Pitalito region, most farms are around 3-5 hectares in size, making them somewhat larger than in the rest of Huila. The region saw increased settlement in the 19th and 20th centuries due to the abundance of fertile land. Huila is generally considered one of the best coffee-growing regions in Colombia, a country already renowned for its exceptionally high-quality coffee.
The women of the Asobombo cooperative hand-pick their ripe, sweet coffee cherries and begin processing them directly on the farm. After pulping, the coffee beans ferment for 12-36 hours in water tanks. The parchment is then washed and dried on covered raised beds. Due to the high humidity in the region, the parchment is turned frequently to ensure even drying.
This summery, light filter coffee shines with a fruity-sweet taste of red currant and citrus zest, tea-like aromas reminiscent of green Sencha tea, and a delicate biscuit finish.
