Coffees are picked in 3-4 passes. This means the producers/workers pick the ripe cherries in one block. Then they might wait a few weeks until it’s again a decent amount of ripe cherries to pick in that same place. The coffee from Huila is generally fully washed, meaning pulped and fermented the traditional way.
This is a unique Colombian coffee that went through 72 hours of anaerobic fermentation. As a result, its super sweet & with lots of fruity sweetness. You'll get grapefruit, mango & lychee fruitiness in the cup.
