The co-op

This coffee is the result of the work of hundreds of coffee growers united within the CADEFIHUILA cooperative, an organization that has supported producers in 27 municipalities of the Huila department for over 60 years. Beyond marketing coffee, the cooperative plays a crucial role in the economic stability of its members by promoting fairer prices, constant technical support, and access to recognized certifications such as Fairtrade and Rainforest Alliance. Each harvest is hand-picked, then processed using a traditional washed method involving about twelve hours of fermentation and a double wash before sun or mechanical drying. This collective expertise ensures consistent quality while highlighting the meticulous work of producer families, generation after generation.

The region

Grown at an altitude of nearly 1,700 meters in the highlands of Palestina, in Colombia's Huila region, this coffee benefits from an exceptional terroir where coffee trees thrive in the shade of indigenous trees. The Caturra and Tabi varieties flourish in a microclimate characterized by temperate days, cool nights, and well-distributed rainfall, promoting slow and uniform ripening of the cherries. Spread over some 2,750 hectares, the plantations thus produce extremely fine beans, offering bright acidity, a delicate body, and remarkable aromatic complexity. In the cup, this richness translates into a sweet and comforting profile revealing notes of vanilla, toasted nuts, and rice pudding, a gourmet signature that distinguishes this coffee from other great crus of Huila.
