Johan Vergara
This coffee was grown by Johan Vergara at the farm Las Flores. This coffee is harvested following strict ripeness criteria, floated, and hand-sorted to remove defects. Cherries remain for 30 hours on underwater fermentation before being pulped. The parchment is then gently washed and dried in controlled temperature conditions until it achieves the ideal moisture content. This microlot is 100% Caturra.

Pitalito, Huila
Pitalito is a Colombian town and municipality located to the south of the Department of Huila, Colombia over the Valley of the Rio Grande de la Magdalena, 188 km from Huila’s capital, Neiva. It is referred to as “The Valley of Laboyos” and is also the second most populated municipality in the Department of Huila, with a population of 128,630. Pitalito is considered the largest producer of coffee in Colombia. Being at the epicenter of the coffee producing District of Bruselas, the town has become a notable coffee-growing area within Colombia. On several occasions, it has been awarded with the “Cup of Excellence”, for producing the best coffee in the country.
Colômbia
There’s something special about Colombia.
Actually, there’s not “something” about Colombia, but many, many somethings that make this place particularly special among coffee-growing countries, and as famous. Everyone knows Colombian coffee—or thinks they do. To really get to know Colombian coffee is to travel thousands of miles, taste through thousands of cups, and wear out dozens of pairs of hiking boots touring hundreds of coffee farms from north to south. Even that’s just the beginning—but every beautiful story needs a beginning.
We have had boots on the ground (and spoons in the cup) here since our earliest days, and we fall in love over and over again with the regional variations, the varieties, the landscape, and the producers themselves. From our work sourcing strong, versatile workhorse coffees for our Excelso Gran Galope signature offerings; to our celebration of the taste of place with Regional Selects from Cauca, Huila, Nariño, and Tolima; to the discovery and development of microlots from all over the country with our export partners and the producers with whom they work closely—we simply can’t get enough.
