Huila is also a Supremo (17/18 screen) coffee and a classic Colombian; classic, but slightly lighter bodied when compared to the Bucaramanga (heavier) and the Popayan (heaviest).
Look for chocolate flowers dancing on your taste buds - now isn't that a pretty picture?
My son Daniel thinks it is a Kenyan that moved to Colombia. Listen to this: it has 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.
Try before you stock up with a 1/2 pound sample!

Great coffee bean. To me it is a balanced taste roasted as a medium-dark. This is the second time I bought bean and will continue to buy!

I have been purchasing this coffee for years and we love it!

I’m new coffee roasting, and experimenting with different beans. I love the chocolate taste and smell of the medium-to-dark roast.

Very nice. In espresso/milk drinks a light roast gives taste of honey, medium roast gives a nice Carmel flavor and dark gives chocolate taste.

truly colombian. smooth chocolate taste low acidity and a wonderful aroma. it's a no brainer. :}
by Bobby on June 29, 2021
Good flavour and aroma. I like a light roast and once I got that right there is very little bitter taste. Coffee Bean Corral is a pleasure to deal with.
by Christopher P. Howe on June 28, 2021
excellent flavor. Great company. My friends love it also!
by Todd Anderson on June 24, 2021
I love this Colombian bean. I have roasted it medium and dark. Both are very good in the cup.

Never let the oils come to the surface of coffee beans when roasting your own beans.

I started doing business with Coffee Bean Corral just recently. This was my second order and I am very pleased with the quality of the green beans and their quick prompt service and delivery. I started roasting my own coffee for personal use and love it as a hobby. The Coffee Corral seems to have a consistent broad range of green coffees to choose from and were able to give me status as to when one of my favorites would be available on the one occasion it was out of stock. With such a good selection I really appreciate that they offer free 1/2 lb samples. My beans have always arrived on time and in good condition. In short Coffee Bean Corral has been one of the bright spots in my coffee roasting experience. A nice smooth mellow coffee at a medium/dark roast, full flavor. Thanks!

Love it. Sure there are lots and lots of exotic coffees to choose from. But, the Columbia Huila Supreme is very easy to roast, tolerant, and hardy when it comes to roasting sensitivities. Great coffee taste. Also, a wonderful green bean for those who are new to roasting.

i'm new to roasting. this was my first batch. came out fantastic. strong coffee aroma and flavor, chocolatey essence. no acid or sour. would buy again. did a medium roast.

Coffee Bean Corral customer service is second to none, with quick shipping of high quality product. When roasted to dark/full city roast, Huila bean makes a smooth, full flavor cup of coffee
by Jeff on April 27, 2021
Roasted to dark/full city roast and the cup has a smooth full body flavor. With no after taste and pleasure to drink.
by George Thompson on March 28, 2021
This is always a good base coffee.
by Jerry on February 17, 2021
High quality beans, roast evenly and no quakers. Excellent flavor at medium-dark roast.
by Chris wisnieski on February 12, 2021
Smooth drinking and easy to pan roast. A nice smooth mellow coffee at a medium/dark roast, full flavor.
by D. Olson on February 4, 2021
Just bought 5 lb bag of Colombia Huila Supremo beans recently, and loving the flavors of a dark roast, I roasted in an oven until oils started coming out of the beans. They were amazing! I was able to achieve one of the flavors I love in a dark roast; a mild, but nutty, and sweet taste, with a hint of popcorn flavor. I am going to love experimenting some more. I will buy these again.
by Ghandi on January 21, 2021
Roasted well into second crack, light Vienna, slightly oiled bean surface. Outstanding, mild yet flavorful coffee. Brewed alone as well as blended with Tanzanian Peaberry roasted at French; the blend with the TP was amazing. All gone.
by Mark Wing on December 24, 2020
Good value priced beans, made excellent medium and dark roast coffee. Nuttiness and a hint of sweetness that I can't describe, medium acidity made this an extremely accessible taste good for sharing with less adventurous coffee drinkers.
by Lisa T on December 15, 2020
Nice even roast. The beans take on a nice flavor profile at a medium roast.
by Rita Goulette on September 11, 2020
Roasted to medium. The best Colombian roast that I have tasted. I shall order again.
by amdixon on August 25, 2020
Gave it 5 stars because any problems were mine and my coffee roaster - more mine. I like a darker roast, the Behmor didn't and would shut off with an overheat error. I have a roast of this that's not as dark as I like, but is very good. I bought my Behmor several years ago and they have since upgraded it. I bought and installed the upgrade for my older machine and I am getting roasts that I like. Will be buying this again.
by Mary on August 24, 2020
These beans are easy to roast evenly and the coffee tastes good every time.
by Lionel on July 22, 2020
Good everyday drinker!
by RLBrooks on July 21, 2020
I love Colombian coffees. This one may be the best one so far. Medium roast fits my palate well. It blends well with my Costa Rica decaf too.
by Kaleb Griffin on July 20, 2020
Like the cheaper price. Not your typical Colombian flavor profile due to the fruitiness attributed to it. I roasted two different ways: 1 minute after the end of 1st crack and right before second crack. You definitely taste the fruity notes with the lighter roasts, and the longer you roast they tend to soften but the flavor is still there.
by Traci H. on July 4, 2020
I bought this for my husband for our anniversary. He loves being able to roast his own coffee beans and have fresh coffee every morning. Plus, you can't beat the price, even with shipping!

James Hoffman said that coffee from the Huila district was one of his favorites. I agree, this is outstanding coffee.

great beans. roasted full city+ and have great nuts and choco taste. will buy again..
by mjcarty on May 28, 2020
This has become my go to coffee for myself and many of my customers. I typically roast it to a medium or medium-dark using my Fresh Roast SR800. My last purchase was a 25 bag and it came very quick and well packaged. Will definitely order again.
by Michael Carty on May 15, 2020
The Huila Supremo is a very good all-day coffee! I find it roasts very consistently batch to batch and provides a very smooth taste with some sweetness and absolutely no bitterness. I’ve been roasting to medium or maybe medium-dark, not quite to the point where the oils appear on the bean surface. This seems to have become my best seller with my customers of my tiny roasting company. They love it too!
by Yabadabadoo on May 13, 2020
I just roasted my first batch of these and am very happy to taste the winey notes. Took it to dark and shiny the way I like most beans. I'm gonna say ...... the best Columbian I have tasted. I am not a believer in the let it sit a while stuff to degas I like to pull a shot while the beans are still warm just like eating cookies as soon as I can pick em up. Happy Happy Happy, I can recommend these to anyone who likes dark roast.
by Muhamed on May 13, 2020
Excellent
by Charlie Z on May 11, 2020
I roasted this bean several times. My first few batches were unimpressive. Somewhat bland, non fruited with a bitter finish. I changed my profiles a bit now it’s very delicious. Sweet, flavorful, very clean, full body, hints of spice and cherry. No bitterness. I roast with a high drop temp, dry end at 5 minutes, first crack at 8.5 minutes with a drop of 10.5 minutes. I roast to medium city.
by Richard Johnson on May 7, 2020
Love Colombian taste and no matter if it is light-medium-dark it is a good choice.
by windandfirecoffee on February 27, 2020
Great taste and well balanced roast.
by Stephen Martin on February 20, 2020
this makes a nice rich cup of coffee when roasted almost to the 2nd crack then degassed for 3-4 days to develope. For the price, I don't think it can be beat. My wife loves it.
by Duane Bennett on February 19, 2020
Roasted medium dark, took a full 5 days to degas and round out. Taste is good, aftertaste not so much.
by KENNETH RODRICK on January 31, 2020
I hope it is good.
by Steve V on January 29, 2020
Love it! Getting back into roasting my own green coffee beans and this has so many different flavors depending on the roast time. I usually like dark roast - oily shiny beans but if a medium roast and dark roast are mixed the results are awesome!
by dale on January 29, 2020
I've ordered these beans a few times have always come quickly. Roast consistently from order to order. Good price point for me to test a few different roasts out.
by Russ Berg on December 17, 2019
I have never been a fan of Columbian coffee beans. I always felt they were overrated. However, when I tried this Colombian I was very impressed. It has become one of my favorites and I order it often. My favorite roast is just to second crack. A very very tasty coffee.
by Sabra on November 20, 2019
Best coffee I have purchased on line.
by Michael Setser on October 16, 2019
Absolutely love this coffee! When roasted to a full city/ full city+ it Has a strong chocolate flavor and makes a great anytime coffee!! Amazing coffee and is always stocked at our house!
by lyonsda on September 20, 2019
Roasted it to medium. I like chewing on the roasted bean better than brewing it. Chewing on it or brewed, excellent coffee.
by William Johnson on August 20, 2019
Roasted it to medium, best cup I've had in a while.
by Joe Mendes on July 10, 2019
I'm a novice roaster. That said, I thought it's a very good coffee. I roasted it just starting second crack in a drum roaster.
