Colombia Huila

This is our New Colombia coffee - keep reading to learn more about these beans and the process of growing and exporting them. Coffee cultivation from small family owned farms is the backbone of production in Colombia and this lot, grown at 1300-1650 masl, comes from smallholder farmers organized around Asociación De Productores Agricola's Tolima Grande. A Colombian export company, Lohas Beans, works directly with many of these producers who have a shared commitment for exquisite coffee processing, and loving care for their farms and the environment. Processing: Each producer has their own micro-mill where they carefully harvest cherries, macerate the cherries overnight, then de-pulp, ferment, wash and gently dry the parchment on raised beds. Exporting: While individual producers have designed farm management and post-harvest solutions to fit their needs, the strong alliance with Lohas Beans provides crucial logistical support for things like warehousing and milling coffee for export to the international market, which provides better income for everyone to reinvest in their farms and strengthen their families’ livelihoods.
