This coffee is sourced from the Huila region of Colombia, grown by small-scale farmers at elevations between 1,300 and 1,900 meters. It is a blend of Castillo, Colombia, Caturra, and Cenicafé varieties, processed using the traditional washed method. The cup features a smooth, medium body with bright citrus acidity. Tasting notes include apricot, black tea, apple, crème caramel, and plum, resulting in a balanced profile with a lingering fruity finish.
Based in Rye, New Hampshire but rooted in Colombian heritage, La Mulita was founded by Medellin native Max Pruna who discovered specialty coffee through George Howell in 2015. The roastery exclusively focuses on Colombian single origins from small farms between 2 to 5 acres, paying farmers three times the standard rate for quality beans scoring 84 points and above. Named after the mules that transport coffee cherries down Colombian mountains, they travel annually to Colombia to maintain direct relationships with producers and roast in small batches to ensure exceptional freshness. Won WMUR Viewers Choice Best Coffee in NH 2021.
