About this coffee:
A classic, chocolate mousse delight, Quebradón is back! One of the first coffees we ever highlighted from Huila, Colombia, we can’t wait for you to enjoy this espresso again.
About:
We’re welcoming back Quebradón from the municipality of Palestina in Huila, Colombia.
Amongst avocado and cattle farming, coffee is the main agricultural activity in the region, and most of the farmers are 3rd and 2nd generation growers. Surrounded by mountains, Palestina is considered a coffee-growing paradise, and during the 1930s and 1940s, many coffee farmers from across Colombia migrated to the region in search of better opportunities. One of the very first Huilan coffees we ever showcased, there’s a reason we keep coming back for more.
Consistently delicious, we’re constantly blown away by its rich mouthfeel and with cocoa notes taking the lead, it reminds us of delicate yet creamy chocolate mousse. Highlighting the classic, easy drinking profile typically associated with Colombia, Quebradón is an all day delight.
