Regional Select is a new project we have created in Colombia meant to highlight the unique profiles we have found are inherent in specific microregions within Colombia. The regions wehighlight are Huila, Narino, Cauca and Tolima. Pitalito is a microregion within the Huila department.
The first harvest, which makes up about 40% of the annual yield, takes place from April to June, and the main harvest of the remaining 60% is in November and December. The coffee is depulped as soon as it is harvested, fermented for 20 to 36 hours, and dried on parabolic driers for 10 to 18 days.
We think that the terroir or soil, sun weather and placement on the planet contribute largely to the flavor of these coffees when picked ripe and handled properly.
