Huila, Colombia is known for high quality due to its volcanic ash soil, high altitude, and annual rainfall.  Specifically the town of San Vicente has become known for great coffee.  This coffee is a wonderful example of the washed process and highlights those classic Colombian coffees we have come to love. The flavor profile s very approachable but has just enough sweetness and red fruits to keep you interested every morning. Simply put this is a great everyday coffee.

Colombia holds a special place in our sourcing program.  Due to various micro climates it produces coffee almost all year round.  This means roasters like us have access to fresh coffee all the time. It is also an origin where we source directly.

This lot excels as pour over or SO Espresso. Enjoy!
