One of the best things about coffee is the endless variation in regional flavors, as evidenced by this week's terrific and nuanced offering from the famed Huila department of Columbia. A microlot from the Villa Juan farm, this crisp and juicy coffee delights with fruity notes of apricot and pomegranate, complicated by a savory undercurrent of Thyme that really rounds out the profile. It's a tasty combination, and for good reason: coffee is a staple of the economy in the Huila region, and as such the producers are always looking to take their coffee to new heights. Their dedication to quality production and innovation leads to unique and dazzling beans like these, and we knew right away we needed to share them with you!
