Colombia: Las Perlitas

In Spanish, Las Perlitas means “Little Pearls” and throughout the harvest, it's quite common that small-holders in Colombia produce lots that aren't large enough to be exported on their own. However, the quality is often just as good (or better) than samples received from larger lots. As such, we buy all coffees, regardless of size and create a larger, export-size lot based on cup score and profile. The result is Las Perlitas Huila; a celebrated coffee of various small lots from producers in Huila.

Colombia: Las Perlitas represents a focused selection from the Huila region, an area widely recognized for its diverse microclimates and consistent production of high-quality lots. Sourced and roasted by Broadsheet Coffee, this offering highlights the specific character of its origin through careful processing and roasting techniques. When evaluating the nuances of such a coffee, it is helpful to reference the flavor wheel to better identify the complex aromatic compounds and acidity profiles often found in Colombian beans.

While every harvest varies, coffees from Huila are frequently celebrated for their balanced profiles, often bridging the gap between bright, citric acidity and deep, caramelized sweetness. By maintaining a commitment to quality, roasters like Broadsheet Coffee aim to preserve the integrity of the regional terroir, allowing the unique characteristics of the Las Perlitas lot to remain at the forefront of the final cup.
