Huila Pitalito is a single-origin Colombian coffee grown in the high elevations of southern Huila and washed to emphasize clarity, structure, and depth. With its rich chocolate-driven profile, layered sweetness, and heavy body, this coffee delivers a balanced yet expressive cup that performs beautifully across brew methods—especially when enjoyed black.

Roaster’s Note

As steam rises from the first brew, this Colombian immediately reveals fruit, chocolate, and roasted nuttiness. The cup opens with the richness of dark chocolate, followed by cherry and a subtle lift of vanilla. Creamy roasted almond carries through the body, giving the cup a luxurious mouthfeel.

The finish brings a refreshing interplay between bergamot and cherry, creating a medium yet lively acidity. A slight bitterness from the dark chocolate allows each flavor to unfold gracefully from start to finish.
