Passport Coffee & Tea
Colombian Supremo - Huila
Grown in the Andes mountain range in south-central Colombia, covering the departments of Cauca, Huila and Nariño. Crop density is low in the area, and most farms have fewer than 4,000 trees per hectare. The farms range in altitude from 1,600 to 1,900 meters above sea level and mostly grow Caturra and Colombia and have extensive shade from local trees like walnut and guayacan.
The area has two rainy seasons that allow for a main crop, from October through January, and a smaller crop between May and July.
Coffees are pulped and washed at each farm, pre-dried and then brought in parchment to the central drying station in town, where they're dried on patios for 2 to 4 days, depending on the weather.
Cupping notes: Raspberry, lemonade, caramel; balanced and sweet; juicy acidity.
