We have been working in Huila since 2016. This Huila Reserve
program encourages farmers to improve the quality of the coffee
they produce through improved farming practices and is
rewarded for their efforts with better premiums. All the selected
farmers in our program deliver their coffees directly to our
collection warehouse in Huila. The coffees are then carefully
assessed to ensure they fulfill all the requirements in terms of
grading and quality. Every lot is cupped separately and then are
blended depending on the characteristics of each one. Once
coffees are approved by our quality control team, farmers are
paid the next day for their coffees. This lot is composed by
smallholders from Isnos, Pitalito, Acevedo, Iquira, Palermo, La
Plata, Oporapa and La Argentina, Huila. The average size farm
is 2 hectares.
