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 we will begin highlighting to start are Huila, Narino, Cauca and Tolima. This lot comes from Acevedo municipality within the Department of Huila, a prominent coffee-growing region known for its diverse microclimates. It ranges in altitude from 1235 to 1800 meters above sea level; some areas are more humid, while others are drier. Average rainfall varies within this region as well, from as little as 150 to as much as 3000 mm of rain annually.
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.
