Colombia Burbujas Huila Wet Mill Project
This lot comes from 30 – 50 smallholder producers throughout Huila and is processed at the newly opened Aguablanca Wet Mill. Opened in 2024, the mill is state of the art, and the most advanced wet mill facility in Colombia. It has transformed coffee production for these small-scale producers, increasing their access to international markets and higher incomes. After the producers deliver their cherries to the mill, they are sorted to remove any under or overripe cherries. Next, they are fermented aerobically with yeast for 12 hours. Afterwards, the cherries are pulped with a new precise machine to remove the external fruit leaving 20% of the mucilage on the bean. The coffee is fermented once more anaerobically with coffee mossto for 50 hours. Mossto is the liquid that comes from the coffee cherry. Once complete, the coffee is then dried via mechanical dryer for 34 hours. Drying with a machine ensures uniformity and precision. With new machinery and sorting technology, coffee processing is efficient, quick, and produces less waste. The coffee is then left to rest for 20 days before being delivered to the dry mill to be hulled and prepared for export.

About Colombia
Colombia is the third largest coffee-producing country in the world. Mountainous and fertile, it has multiple tropical microclimates which result in incredibly diverse, quality coffee harvested from October to February, with a second, fly crop several months later, varying by region and microclimate.

There is a huge variety of coffee produced in Colombia, but the country’s coffee is generally associated with tasting notes of chocolate, nut and a moderate, citrusy acidity.
