Las Moras - Colombia

About This Coffee

Las Moras is a single-origin coffee from Huila, Colombia, sourced from the highlands around Acevedo and Pitalito. The lot combines three Colombian varieties: Caturra, Castillo, and Colombia. It undergoes a dual fermentation process—aerobic followed by anaerobic—with final hot/cold quenching, resulting in a full-bodied, sweet profile with notable density and creamy texture. Flavor notes differ by brewing method: mandarin, shortbread, and blossom honey for filter preparations; apple and butter crumble for espresso. Harvested April-September.
