Made with Colombia Huila El Tiple Excelso Beans
The El Tiple coffee line is designed to be the reliable workhorses of the roastery. They excel as both a supporting element in coffee blends and as exceptional single-origin offerings. The Huila El Tiple Excelso EP coffee beans were carefully selected from small, family-owned farms spread across Colombia's Huila department.
Huila has now claimed its position as the largest coffee grower in Colombia. However, its journey to this distinction was anything but typical, unlike other regions like Antioquia, Santander, or Cundinamarca. A unique facet of Huila's development was the abundant labor force that migrated from Huila to traditional coffee-producing provinces to work as coffee pickers. Upon returning to their native land, they not only brought back earnings but also coffee beans and valuable knowledge. The rest, as they say, is history.
