Huila is the largest specialty coffee producing region. A mountainous region that lies in the southwest of the country between the Eastern and Central mountain ranges, in the Colombian Massif. It is nestled on the flank of the Andes near the Nevado del Huila volcano, the second highest peak in Colombia. Rich volcanic soils, lush climate, and ideal altitude all combine to make coffee from the Huila district some of the most exquisite in Colombia.

Learn More About this coffee

Colombia Solsticio is an innovative community blend from La Plata, Huila, crafted from a communal lot of varieties led primarily by Castillo. Its distinctive profile comes from a carefully controlled three-stage fermentation process. First, the coffee cherries go through an aerobic fermentation at the farm for at least 12 hours, helping lay the foundation for the coffee’s bright and lively fruit character. After that, the cherries are depulped and brought to Los Patios, where a specially developed “Fruit Juice” undergoes its own controlled fermentation to prepare the fruity and tropical precursors that shape the coffee’s flavor. In the final stage, that fermented fruit solution is added back to the depulped coffee for a mixed fermentation, beginning with 5 hours of aerobic activity followed by 12 hours of anaerobic fermentation. This precise process creates notes of mango nectar, candied ginger, and pineapple with a subtle hint of mint, while preserving a clean, balanced cup without overpowering fermentation notes.
