Region: Colombia

The coffee in El Tejo will primarily come from the largest producing regions of Colombia, including Huila, Nariño, and Cauca, and are composed of multiple producers' combined production. Colombia has some of the most intense terrain in the coffee-growing world, with producers spread far and wide throughout the country. This lends itself to a ton of flavor variation, region to region. 

Processing Method: Washed

Washed Coffees in Colombia are first de-pulped to remove the fruit from the seed. Some mucilage remains on the seed, and a 12 - 24 hour fermentation process is used next to remove the remaining coffee fruit. After the mucilage is removed, the coffee seeds are washed and then laid out to dry on raised beds for 10 days.
