Huila - Juan Valdez Gourmet Coffee - Single Origin (Whole Beans 454g)

Huila

The soft, balanced coffee with sweet notes from Colombia

Under a permanent cloud cover which softens the bright sunlight in Huila, a uniquely balanced, sweet coffee is born at 1.050 m ASL.

This incredible coffee region is privileged with rich climate and volcanic soils. The Magdalena river valley is surrounded by two of the three Andean Mountain Ranges:

• The Central Range: home of the Snowy Huila Volcano, enriching the coffee growing soil with its volcanic ashes.
• The Easter Range: working as a natural barrier from the Amazonas, generating high levels of rain and cloud cover.

In this valley, this impressive High Andean mountain ranges surrounding it prevent the winds from taking the cloud cover away, which protects the coffee plants from the strong sun rays, allowing them to grow stress free throughout the whole year, maturing a sweet and balanced coffee.

In Huila, the inhabitants are known for their kindness and tranquility, which they bring into this sweetly balanced coffee they grow. These small lot producers have won 5 times the international Contest of the Cup of Excellence out of 12 years.
