Described as a “Kenyan that moved to Colombia,” this bean has an “oak-aged” quality compared to whiskeys and wines. A mature coffee with a screen size of 15/16, the Huila Excelso is lighter when compared to heavier beans Bucaramanga and the Popayan. Like its relative, the Huila Supremo, the Excelso is also de-pulped by hand, dried evenly on raised beds, and meticulously observed and controlled through processing.

Cupping Notes: Bright, winey acidity, creamy body, sweet and nutty with notes of dark chocolate and caramel.
