Cumbia Huila Coffee 100% Single Origin Colombian Gourmet Whole Bean Coffee, 10-ounce Bag

Description

Huila Cumbia Coffe comes from the Department of Huila—famous for its coffee— which is located in the south west of Colombia at an altitude of 5300 to 5900 feet (1600 – 1800 meters) above sea level. It is a humid region, with abundant rainfall, and an average daytime temperature of 61°F (18°C). Lower nighttime temperatures create significant variations in temperature that are critical in ensuring the quality of coffee by slowing down the ripening process, and thereby providing it with higher acidity and a touch of sweetness unique to the coffee in Huila. This region is home to 100% Arabica, handpicked, wet-processed and sun-dried coffee. The region’s specific geographic location, combined with the variety of thermal levels as well as the unique conditions of water availability, temperature, solar radiation, and wind, make Huila an ideal location for coffee cultivation. Huila’s alternating dry and rainy seasons make it possible to harvest fresh coffee, with a touch of sweetness and a tinge of caramel taste, throughout the entire year. The coffee’s medium-high body, medium-high acidity, lingering residual flavor, and good balance are excellent qualities that make it one of the preferred cups in the gourmet market.
