The Huila region is always a favorite when it comes to Colombian coffee. In addition to high-quality green coffee beans, Huila is celebrated for its distinctly delicate cup profile, which features bright acidity, sweetness, and a fragrant aroma. Huila’s proximity to the equator and it is rich with volcanic soil contributes to its profile of chocolate, fruit and caramel notes, sweet acidity, and intense aromas.
Pitalito is the second most populous municipality in Huila, Colombia. The climate is humid, and temperatures usually range between 18-21ºC throughout the year except during May, June, and July, when the temperature dips to 12-14ºC.
This coffee is named for the Tiple instrument, which is used in traditional Colombian music and is a blend that explores Colombia’s distinctive micro-climates and flavor profiles. All the beans were sourced from small, family-owned farms ranging in altitudes from 1,500-1,800masl.
Deep, dark chocolate notes are coupled with caramel and roasted hazelnut flavors in this coffee. A light touch of floral notes also brings the complexity up a notch. The medium body and acidity are perfect for those looking for a robust, sweet, satisfying cup.
