Cultivated by a group of dedicated producers in the upper part of the Palestina municipality in Huila, Colombia. Grown at around 1,700 masl under shade and native trees, this lot features a blend of Caturra and Tabi varieties selected across 2,750 hectares. The microclimate of this region results in a cup that stands out for its bright acidity, delicate body, and well-balanced complexity—traits that set it apart from other coffees in Huila.
The coffee is produced by members of the CADEFIHUILA Cooperative, a well-established organization supporting 27 municipalities in Huila. Cherries are traditionally washed, fermented for 12 hours, and double-rinsed before being dried by sun or machine.

Their mission is to ensure growers receive fair, competitive prices for their coffee, while providing access to essential services and basket products. All efforts are aligned with sustainable development principles, ensuring that their practices benefit both the environment and the local coffee-growing communities.
The rich volcanic soil and high-altitudes of Huila, allows the cooperative to emphasize in both quality and sustainability.
