"Located in the south of Huila, the town of Pitalito serves as a coffee trading point, supplied by producers that work the farms surrounding the area. Famous for producing coffees that exhibit well-balanced acidity, sweetness, and body, the region of Huila benefits from the high altitudes and consistent temperatures that encourage complexity.

Typically, the wet process in Colombia starts with ripe cherries picked and pulped the same day, followed by a 12-36 hour fermentation in open-air tanks, before washing clean and spreading out to dry. This coffee plays nice in every situation, making for smooth lattes and bright fruity black coffees."

"Located in a mountainous and biodiverse landscape, Matilde Farm is operated by father-and-son team Ricardo and Leonardo Tavares. The farm uses mahogany trees to shade its growing coffee crops, which slows cherry maturation in order to highlight sweetness and complexity in the cup.

Harvesting between June and September, the experienced and long-term staff use machinery to pick fully-ripe cherries. This coffee was processed as a natural, emphasising its rich body and nutty sweetness, making a smooth milk or black coffee."
