Details
Over the years, Colombian washed Arabica coffee has moved towards high-yield varieties that negatively impacted brightness, flavor and complexity. Still, if one is willing to work at finding some special lots, it's possible to get exceptional Colombian coffee.
We buy a very flavorful Colombian coffee from the southern province of Huila. This is one region of the country that still grows the old, traditional coffee variety called typica instead of the newer hybrids. It is very encouraging that enough growers there still believe in traditional quality, enabling quality-conscious buyers to find good coffee. We hope that our support of their efforts will provide incentive for other producers to return to the old varieties, which established Colombian coffee's reputation in the first place.
