More About This Coffee:

Around Huila, several purchasing agencies meticulously control each purchase to guarantee traceability and quality. Small farms here are mostly planted with Caturra, and processing is very traditional. Producers use hand-cranked de-pulping machines to remove the cherry from the beans and dry the coffee on raised beds to provide good air circulation and even drying.
