- Get to know who, how and where the coffee that you will sell to your clients is produced. Each coffee goes through a unique process, many times engineered by the producer herself. Acquire the coffee in a direct and consistent manner and praise the value created at the farm.
- Buying without the unnecessary intermediaries allows the producer to obtain better prices. This helps generate better jobs and more prosperous rural communities.
- When you buy pre-harvest you allow the producer to produce on demand at an agreed price. This is the most powerful way to motivate investment in quality. In addition, you indirectly support producers to get financing at a lower cost.
- Support producers who strive for implementing environmentally friendly cultivation practices. It requires a lot of effort and higher costs to protect the environment and put in practice cleaner ways of farming. Support a more environmentally sustainable industry and communicate this to your customers.
- Specially crafted coffee is not easily available as the big chunk of volume is pulled by commercial coffee, which is often institutionally protected. Therefore, buying crafted coffee is a great option to reward those risk-taking, innovative and revolutionary producers that are committed to conscious and quality consumption.

Huila is framed by the Central and Eastern ranges of the Andes, with most of the region situated in the Magdalena River Valley, which provides a great variation in climate, with temperatures in this region varying between 17 and 26ºc, with altitudes between 1400 and 1900 metres above sea level. It is also characterised by volcanic soil with high nitrogen content, which contributes to the development of such unique and complex flavours.
Huila's coffees are known for splendid sweet flavours and bright acidity. Often characterized by round body, complex, expressive and intense fragrance, fruity notes of raspberry and pineapple, Huila's coffee can be very diverse due the complexity of soild and diversity of climates.

Cultivar: Chiroso
At one time it was said to be a spontaneous genetic variation of Caturra and therefore called Caturra Chiroso but recent genetic studies conducted by RD2 Vision clearly indicate genetic Ethiopian Landrasse closely related to Gesha. Its possible origin is an Ostrom collection of Nespresso varieties. It has two versions, the low and the tall version.
In terms of morphological composition, it has similarities to the Bourbon and Typica varieties, especially with respect to bush bearing, leaf color and size; also, it is observed that the cherry development is oval in shape.
It is a variety that has gained much international reputation due to obtaining first places during several cups of excellence. Some tasters and baristas define it as a combination of fruits, with consistent notes of jasmine, peach, lemongrass and with a unique floral residual.
