Colombia La Soledad

This is a well-balanced Colombian coffee produced by Mario Gomez on his farm, La Soledad. It offers a pleasant sweetness reminiscent of raisins, complemented by the fresh brightness of red currant and a gentle herbal finish. The flavors are not intense but rather soft and rounded, making it an easy and enjoyable cup.

La Soledad is a single-farm in Pitalito, Huila, producing multiple processing methods and varieties. Mario has the ability to separate microlots based on the varieties he grows, via selective picking. He can then choose how to process these lots, giving us access to unique honeys, washed, and naturals from varieties like Caturrón, Pink Bourbon, Papayo, and Sidra.
