How we are using this coffee

We have been using this coffee as a light, medium, and medium-dark roast coffee offering in the MCR roastery. Colombia is a staple for us and as such we always try to have something from this origin available. This coffee adds sweetness and acidity for blending, and stands very well on its own as a single origin offering for drip.

About this coffee

Located in southwestern Colombia, Huila is nestled in-between the Central and Eastern ranges of the Andes, with the middle area called the Magdalena Valley. The variation in elevation results in Huila being one of the country’s most unique and complex regions of coffee production. Its terroir, climate, and harvest cycles all contribute to the quality of coffee produced here. While Huila accounts for nearly 20% of the country’s production, 80% of coffee producers operate on less than three hectares.
