About:
This lot brings together coffees produced by families from the municipalities of Pitalito, Palestina and Acevedo, which are located in the southern part of the department of Huila.
The Valley of the Laboyos is found within the municipality of Pitalito, and was declared a biosphere reserve in 1972 by UNESCO. Southeast of Pitalito, sits the municipality of Palestina. Palestina is considered the “the water and forest factory of Huila”—due to the various protected micro-basins found within its watershed, its rich biodiversity and most of all, for its inhabitants’ commitment to conserving this environment and its natural resources. Within the municipality of Acevedo, we find the Parque Nacional Natural Cueva los Guácharos, the oldest national park in Colombia, named after the Guácharo, or Oilbird, the only nocturnal, flying, fruit-eating bird in the world.
Roasting days: Proud Mary roast Monday-Friday during normal business hours. To ensure freshness of coffee, best to order early in the week as postal services and couriers do not operate on weekends.
Orders: placed by 8.30am PST will be roasted and dispatched the same day. If you are ordering on a Friday, and order after 8.30am then your coffee will be roasted the following business day - Monday.
