2019 La Plata - Colombia
Please note that weekly orders are roasted on Tuesday and shipped on Wednesday.
This is a field blend of 16 ambitious smallholding producers in La Plata, Huila, southern Colombia. This coffee is a lovely overall representation of this region. It has excellent structure and balance, with a chocolate/toffee-like sweetness that subtly gives way to a softer raspberry acidity to give it a touch of brightness and life.
Region: Huila
Varietal: V. Colombia, Castillo, Caturra
Altitude: 1,800 masl
Harvest: July 2019
Processing:
Harvested at peak ripeness. Floated. Depulped. Dry fermented for 18-24 hours. Dried on raised beds for 15-20 days.
ABOUT LA PLATA:
This is a meticulously constructed field blend of multiple producers that don't individually grow enough coffee to be considered a micro lot. We therefore blend their coffees together to create a larger volume that remains fully traceable and transparent both physically and financially. While the vast majority of our coffee selections are either single-producer micro lots or what are referred to as 'regional blends', the producers contributing to this blend are all fully organic or in the process of transitioning to fully organic, and we are very excited about our first year supporting this initiative.
VARIETY DETAIL:
This is a field blend of the three most commonly grown varieties in Colombia: Castillo, Variety Colombia, and Caturra. Both Castillo and V. Colombia are Catimor hybrids, which give them high resistance to disease. Caturra is a natural mutation of Bourbon, which is very susceptible to disease.
Contains 250g of delicious coffee.
