Colombia Huila Excelso

The Huila department of southern Colombia is celebrated as one of the country’s finest coffee-growing regions — high-altitude volcanic soils, ideal rainfall, and generations of farming expertise combine to produce coffees of remarkable depth and character. This Excelso grade lot, grown at 1,200–2,000 metres above sea level and processed using the traditional washed method, is a genuine crowd-pleaser: versatile, complex and endlessly satisfying.

The Excelso grade signifies carefully selected, larger beans, while the washed process brings out the origin’s characteristic brightness and clean, well-rounded sweetness.
