Colombian - Huila

This single-variety lot comes from a group of 50 producers located in the South of Huila. The Colombia variety is the result of a project of Cenicafe in Colombia to cross Caturra and Hybrido de Timor and create a rust-resistant variety, which has been widely cultivated since the early 1980s. Despite leaf-rust mutations and the emergence of Castillo as an appealing alternative, Variedad Colombia remains one of the most commonly grown cultivars in Colombia, offering excellent cup quality when grown in ideal conditions and carefully processed. 

The double fermentation process involves an initial fermentation in cherry, followed by traditional pulping and a second, usually longer period of fermentation in tanks before the coffee is then sun-dried on patios or parabolic driers.
