Huila is quite well known for its ideal coffee growing environments, not only thanks to the soil and climate, but also due to the hard working producers within the region. Coffee farming in Huila is overwhelmingly small scale. Indeed, approximately 80% of producers from the region grow coffee on less than 3 hectares
of land.
These producers are a carefully selected group of small producers who understand strict quality standards
and are fully committed to producing and delivering their best coffees. Among these producers, we can find several participants in and some winners of COE competitions.
This specific lot comes from 30-50 smallholder producers throughout Huila and processed at the newest Aguablanca wet mill. Opened in 2024, the Aguablanca mill is state of the art, and the most advanced wet mill facility in Colombia.
Huila is located in south Colombia and bordered by the mighty Andean sub ranges of “Cordillera Oriental” and “Cordillera Central”. The famous Huila coffee is grown on the slopes of the cordilleras, split by the Magdalena River which is the principal river of Colombia.
