This Excelso is a product of the hard work and dedication of small-scale coffee farmers in the high-altitude Huila region of Colombia. These farmers, many of whom rely on coffee as their primary livelihood, use traditional and sustainable farming practices to cultivate the finest blend using their many varietals. Their efforts help preserve biodiversity of the surrounding vegetation that help provide shade while enhancing the coffee’s natural complexity.

The result is a coffee that offers a truly unique experience, with vibrant notes of citrus, black tea, and apricot, complemented by creme caramel, plum, and apple. This aroma reflects not just the region’s ideal conditions but also the care and expertise of the farmers who grow it. Versatile across all brewing methods, this Excelso coffee showcases the rich heritage and sustainable practices behind Colombian coffee.
