La Argentina is a micro-lot, single origin coffee from a municipality in south west Huila, Colombia. The region is along the Serania de la Minas, an interior range between the Central Andes Cordillera and the Magdalena River basin. This range modulates and regulates the climatic interaction between the warm and dry Magdalena River climate and cool Andes Cordillera climate, which tends to produce large day and night temperature and moisture variations. The coffee is sourced directly from local coffee growers that are members of Cadefihuila. It was grown at very high altitudes, between 5200 and 6500 feet, making for a higher percentage of smaller, though not small beans. The soil contains volcanic ash and other volcanic particulates as the last eruption of the Huila volcano was just this past February 2007. Moisture is optimal. This segregated micro-lot, due to the small availability, combines beans screen sizes 15 and up with the majority larger beans*. 100% of the coffee is wet processed and sun dried directly on the few farms that contribute to this micro-lot *Note Behmor users - these beans will not fall through the standard Behmor roasting cylinder. Cup Characteristics: Clean, sweet, crisp and bright. You can taste the soil in which it is grown, its terroir, which provides a very complex cup. Hints of berry and honey. Medium body, a lingering finish and a smooth pudding-like, milk chocolate texture.
