Colombia Huila ASPROTIMANA Women’s Coffee

Our new Colombia Huila ASPROTIMANA Women’s Coffee is produced by a group of 53 women organized around the Asociación De Productoras Agricultores Agrícolas De Timana (ASPROTIMANA), with farms around Timaná in the department of Huila, Colombia.

From our awesome importer:

“Sourcing Details

Arrivals from Huila are always a special treat and even more so when they are fully traceable to a producer group of women.  Programa Mujer Cafetera with Asociación De Productores Agrícolas De Timana (ASPROTIMANA) has been working directly with women producers to establish coffee production from farms owned and managed by women. With the support of Servicio Nacional de Aprendizaje (SENA), this group of women have established their skills to process specialty coffee using their own micro-mills.

Processing Details

Cultivating coffee on just a few acres of land intercropped with shade trees, bananas, corn, and beans lends to careful post-harvest practices including hand sorting cherries before depulping, fermenting, washing, and drying the coffee using their own micro-mills.

Exporting Details

After processing, ASPROTIMANA works with an export company called San Miguel, a family owned company based in Huila that focuses on bringing traceable micro-lots to the international market.  The partnership ensures traceability and quality control throughout the post harvest process and a mutual goal to improve the quality of life for coffee producers and their families through internationally marketing womens’ coffee to gain improved premiums.”

Great aroma with hints of cocoa, nutty graham cracker, and sweet fruits. Solid medium body in the cup, creamy and velvety. Nuances of cocoa, milk chocolate, and fruit cocktail; a sweet mix of apple, cherry, orange, and strawberry. Well balanced flavors with a soft richness, lush!
