Colombia La Victoria comes from the mountains around the Huila volcano, from smallholder farmers in Santa Maria and Palermo. The coffee is washed with controlled fermentation and consists mainly of Caturra and Typica alongside other varieties. In the cup there are notes of chocolate, blackcurrant and dark cane sugar, often complemented by citrus and floral accents. Roast profiles range from light to medium, making the bean versatile for espresso and filter. The supply chain is transparent and ethical via Productores del Futuro and The Coffee Quest, with prices above the market and a focus on quality and sustainability.
