Bijao (SOLD OUT)

Each bag comes with a "to & from" card + a holographic sticker.

We’re really excited to share this coffee from La Plata in the north of Huila. 5 producers contributed to this lot with 50% coming from Fernando Garcia who has a local varietal called ‘Bourbon Manzano’ with the other 4 producers providing the Colombia varietal. This region is a microclimate that’s perfect for growing coffee with very little direct sunlight – about 3 hours per day – which creates more sugars in the cherry.

This lot is extremely sweet with a great brightness to it, while maintaining a heavy mouthfeel. Panela-like sweetness with hints of toffee and honey meets gentle tropical warmth and layers of dried fig, spiced peach, and candied fruit, with soft chocolate and brown sugar notes that result in a festive and comforting cup.

Sourced from the renowned La Plata, Huila region, the Bijao lot from Caravan Coffee Roasters showcases the diverse flavor profiles often found in Colombian specialty coffee. This specific selection highlights a complex sweetness, characterized by notes of panela, toffee, honey, and brown sugar. These foundational sugars are balanced by a distinct tropical warmth, featuring nuances of dried fig, spiced peach, and candied fruit, rounded out by a soft chocolate finish.

When evaluating such a multifaceted profile, it is helpful to reference the flavor wheel to categorize the interplay between the deep, caramelized sugars and the brighter, fruit-forward acidity. While this particular offering is currently sold out, it serves as a quintessential example of the depth and character that producers in Huila can achieve. The combination of rich, dessert-like sweetness and vibrant fruit notes remains a hallmark of the region’s high-quality output.
