Colombia Huila Supremo Coffee

Coffee from Colombia - Supreme Coffee, Huila Region

Colombia Huila Supremo EP Fair Trade coffee comes from southwestern Colombia, from the area around the city of San Augustin - small family farms located in the coffee-intensive Huila region of Colombia. The region is characterized by distinctly different wet and dry seasons, which have an impact on both the harvesting process and the subsequent drying of the coffee. The combination of high altitude, good irrigation and volcanic soil makes it the best starting point for your coffee adventure in Colombia. The main harvest takes place between April and August and the secondary harvest between December and February (the so-called "small" harvest). The owners of small coffee farms usually remove the top part of the coffee tree using the "washed" method at their local processing stations, called mills. After the top of the coffee cherry is removed, the coffee is dried in the sun. The coffee is put out on special raised beds lined with mesh so that air can reach the beans from below.
