Huila is also an Excelso coffee bean with a screen size of 15-16. While this coffee bean is a classic Colombian, it is slightly lighter-bodied when compared to the Bucaramanga (heavier) and the Popayan (heaviest). Expect chocolate flowers dancing on your taste buds!
This variety has been described as "a Kenyan that moved to Colombia," having great balance, and yet is rich, nutty and sweet; the longer it sat in the cup the sweeter it got. Milder and lighter than the other Colombians, it is a nice cup of coffee for watching the sun go down, or with a fine, light dessert after dinner. This coffee has matured since the last cupping, several years ago. The floral notes are more pronounced and the sweetness has mellowed. There is an "oak aged" quality comparable to the balance found in whiskeys and wines with that label. Enjoy.
Try before you stock up with a 1/2 pound sample!
