Full of oranges and stone fruits, we are once again in love with this smallholder lot from San Agustin in Huila, Colombia. Add in a delicious creamy dark chocolate note, with a hint of black tea florals, and you have a moreish, sessionable sipper. Shout out to Caravela, our importer, who have been working with the producers of Los Naranjos since 2006 with the intention to showcase their quality and get them known. Now the number of producers who deliver coffee to Los Naranjos has increased substantially, with an improvement in the quality of the coffee and the farms seen over time.
FROM OUR IMPORTER - CARAVELA
In the south of the department of Huila, we find the municipality of San Agustin, a place known for its agriculture and archeological park with an important tourism industry. It’s an area near the famous Colombian Massif where some of the most important rivers of Colombia are born such as the Cauca and Magdalena River. This proximity to the Colombian Massif is a main factor for the richness and fertility of the soil in San Agustin having volcanic ash and rich in hydric sources. One important factor for the economy of this area is agriculture with crops such as sugar cane, avocado and coffee, with the latter gaining notoriety in the last decade, where high quality coffee is found. One last important factor to note about San Agustin, is the heritage of Pre-Columbian cultures of which there is an archeological park, declared Word Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1995.
