Description

This coffee originates from small farms in Colombia's Huila region, the largest coffee
producing area in the country. It lies near the highest Volcano in Colombia - Nevado del Huila. The mountainous terrain provides fertile volcanic soils and high altitudes with large day-night swings in temperature. This slows cherry maturation leading to very intense, sweet and complex cups. Thanks to this Huila is renowned for the quality of its coffee all over the world. It regularly produces Cup of Excellence-winning lots. And in 2013, it received Denomination of Origin status.

Most of the farms in the region are small approx. 1-3 ha. Mainly they have their own processing
facilities, both wet mills, where the coffee is pulped, fermented and washed, and space for
drying the coffee.

Hulcafe is a coffee exporter and producer founded in 2018. It currently has 2 offices in
Colombia`s leading coffee regions: Huila and Quindio. Hulcafe has its own processing station in
La Boyana, which serves about 300 farmers in the region.

The company offers a range of
services including:

  • beans selection
  • coffee processing
  • roasting
  • coffee packaging.

Origin

Colombia, often associated with emeralds and the narcotics trade, is, in fact, one of the leading giants in the coffee industry. Renowned worldwide, Colombian coffee is distinguished by its intriguing taste and high quality.

Initially considered a beverage for aristocrats, coffee in Colombia transformed into a true business for its residents. Additionally, Colombia's climate is ideal for coffee cultivation, featuring an equatorial zone, absence of frost, volcanic soil, and abundant Colombian sun, ensuring a bountiful harvest. Colombians plant coffee trees in the shade of taller plants, minimizing the need for intensive care. In 2011, UNESCO designated Colombia's Coffee Triangle as a World Heritage site.

Colombia exclusively cultivates Arabica, handpicking the beans but employing the 'wet' processing method for purification. Although this method is costly, coffee subjected to this process attains a higher class. This is why Colombian lots are highly prized worldwide.

General characteristics of Colombian coffee:

  • Moderate smoothness
  • Absence of bitterness
  • Tropical flavor notes
  • Hints of red berries
  • Sweet chocolate undertones
