About the Producer

Gigante is a town in the east of the Huila region, and this coffee is produced by an association of coffee growers in the area known as El Desarrollo. Made up of more than 220 small and medium-sized producers, all located on the western slopes of the East Andes, El Desarrollo has a membership comprising 169 men and 51 women ranging from 25 to 78 years of age.

The coffee is hand-picked in small catchments as it reaches maturity. From here the coffee is hulled and washed on each small producer’s farm, before being dried on patios or raised beds under parabolic plastic roofs that protect the coffee during the drying stages. The unique profile from Huila is accentuated by only incorporating coffee produced from the area around Gigante, creating a distinctive cup profile.
