Huila
Of the many growing regions in Colombia, the mountainous department of Huila in the south west of the country grows the most coffee. Huila enjoys a wide diversity of micro-climates, temperatures, altitudes and coffee varieties. In fact, coffee is grown in 35 of Huila's 37 municipalities. All of this means that the coffee coming out of this region is as diverse as the variables that influence its production.
Maragogipe
Maragogipe is a natural mutation of Typica and produces some of the largest sized cherries and thus coffee seeds. It is not a high yielding plant and has large internodal spacing making it less efficient for picking. It has a distinct cup profile which has caused multiple well known hybrids like Pacamara and Maracaturra.
Washed
Upon harvest, cherries are floated allowing them to dry ferment. They are then de-pulped and further fermented as wet parchment in plastic barrels. Finally, the coffee is dried for approximately 20 days on covered raised beds, and then on a rooftop solar dryer.
