From the roaster

A vibrant washed lot from 10 smallholder farmers in La Plata, Huila—grown in volcanic soils at 1,900–2,100 MASL and almost entirely from older Caturra trees. The 10 small producers - José Alexander Sánchez, Miguel Castillo, Serafín Vidarte, Evelia Calambás, Maribel Baicue, Wilfredo Pillimué, Yerson Pillimué , José Merardo, and Pastor Ulcunche - deliver just 100–150kg at a time to the Pillimué family’s local collection point, where each lot is rigorously milled, cupped, and blended by Pergamino’s team for clarity and regional character. La Plata’s cool climate and rugged, high-mountain terrain consistently produce coffees with striking brightness and definition, and this year’s selection is no exception. A beautifully clean washed lot from one of Colombia’s most unique growing pockets—transparent, sophisticated, and deeply rooted in generations of community farming.

Context

Everyday Coffee's Colombia La Plata Filter showcases a collective harvest from nine producers in the La Plata region of Huila. Processed through the washed method, this Caturra emphasizes brightness and clarity—qualities that tend to emerge when this varietal is carefully handled at these elevations. The roaster's focus on these clean, articulate characteristics reflects the region's reputation for producing coffees with distinct sensory presence. Washed processing typically allows a coffee's inherent qualities to shine without the heavier, fruit-forward profiles sometimes associated with other methods.
