Huila Reserve

This lot comes from Huila, in the southern Andean region of Colombia, and is grown at altitudes of 1,500–2,100 masl. Farmers in this region typically manage small plots of around 2 hectares. After processing, coffee is delivered to Cofinet’s warehouse in Huila, where it is carefully assessed and graded to meet quality requirements. Since 2016, farmers working with Cofinet have benefited from support in implementing improved farming practices, enabling them to increase incomes by selling their coffee at higher premiums, often around 20% above market price.

Huila Reserve is a Colombian coffee from Cartwheel Coffee, sourced from the Huila region in the country's southwestern highlands. Grown between 1500–2100 meters above sea level, coffees from this elevation band in Huila benefit from the region's volcanic soils and distinct microclimates, which can contribute complexity and balance to the cup. The Reserve designation suggests intentional sourcing or curation by the roaster, highlighting their commitment to quality from this origin.

Huila is recognized as one of Colombia's premium coffee zones, where altitude and terroir create conditions for developed flavor expression. To better understand this coffee's sensory profile, refer to the flavor wheel for tasting note orientation.
