{"product_id":"colombia-huila","title":"Colombia Huila Natural","description":"\u003cp\u003eOpen the bag, close your eyes, and you're already somewhere beautiful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is coffee with deep roots — grown by 84 family farmers in the municipality of Aipe, tucked into Colombia's legendary Huila department where the Andes Mountains divide into three majestic ranges and the Magdalena River carves through valleys fed by streams cascading down from snow-capped volcanoes reaching over 5,400 meters. The region's high-quality soils and abundant natural water make it ideal for the organic, chemical-free agricultural practices that define every cup we offer from here. It's the kind of land that practically asks to grow extraordinary coffee — and the farmers of Aipe have been answering that call for generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe People Behind It\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eASOPCAFA was born in 2012 when Jorge Emilio Ramirez and a small group of 24 farmers — clustered at the border of Huila and Tolima — came together to find better outlets for their coffee and leverage their collective strength. What started as a handful of neighbors with a shared goal has grown into a thriving community of 84 members, 17 of them women, each farming an average of 1.5 hectares and depending on coffee as their primary livelihood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes ASOPCAFA special isn't just the coffee — it's the culture they've built around it. The cooperative runs an office and cupping lab in Aipe where farmers and their children can participate in agronomy and cupping courses, and they offer local children between 5 and 12 years of age free courses on planting, pruning, and maintaining coffee trees, with a special focus on environmental sustainability. Every bag you buy is part of that story. The association holds both Fair Trade and USDA Organic certifications, and provides ongoing technical support to help members continuously raise their game.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Region Built for Greatness\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHuila is often considered the heart of Colombia's specialty coffee movement — a region where small farms, cooperative systems, and careful processing combine to create coffees that are trusted for both quality and consistency. By 2021, 12 producers from Huila were finalists for the Cup of Excellence, one of the most prestigious international competitions in specialty coffee. The region's growing altitudes of 1,400–2,000 meters above sea level, combined with mineral-rich volcanic soil and the microclimate gifts of three Andean ranges, create conditions that produce reliably stunning, complex cups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis particular lot is processed as a natural — the whole cherry dried slowly in the sun — which unlocks the kind of wild, fruit-forward exuberance that makes natural-process Colombian coffees something genuinely special.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOrigin\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg width=\"30\" alt=\"Grower\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1095\/7444\/files\/Grower.svg?v=1675748280\" style=\"vertical-align: middle;\"\u003e  \u003cstrong\u003eGrower:\u003c\/strong\u003e Asociación de Productores, Transformadores y Exportadores de Café del Municipio de Aipe (ASOPCAFA)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg width=\"30\" alt=\"Farm\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1095\/7444\/files\/Farm.svg?v=1675748279\" style=\"vertical-align: middle;\"\u003e  \u003cstrong\u003eFarm:\u003c\/strong\u003e 84 small farms\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg width=\"30\" alt=\"Region\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1095\/7444\/files\/Region.svg?v=1675748280\" style=\"vertical-align: middle;\"\u003e  \u003cstrong\u003eRegion: \u003c\/strong\u003eAipe, Huila, Colombia\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1095\/7444\/files\/Cultivar.svg?v=1675748280\" alt=\"Cultivar\" width=\"30\" style=\"vertical-align: middle;\"\u003e  \u003cstrong\u003eCultivar:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003eCastillo, Caturra, Colombia, and Typica\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg width=\"30\" alt=\"Altitude\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1095\/7444\/files\/Altitude.svg?v=1675785680\" style=\"vertical-align: middle;\"\u003e  \u003cstrong\u003eAltitude:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1600 to 2000 meters\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1095\/7444\/files\/Processing_Method.svg?v=1675748279\" alt=\"Processing Method\" width=\"30\" style=\"vertical-align: middle;\"\u003e  \u003cstrong\u003eProcessing Method:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural and sun-dried\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProfile\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1095\/7444\/files\/Roast_Level.svg?v=1675748279\" alt=\"Roast Level\" width=\"30\" style=\"vertical-align: middle;\"\u003e  \u003cstrong\u003eRoast Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Medium Roast  \u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" data-files=\"Roast_Level_Indicator_List_-_2.png\" data-original=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1095\/7444\/files\/Roast_Level_Indicator_List_-_2.png?v=1597072803\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ticoroasters.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/Roast_Level_Indicator_List_-_3.png\" alt=\"Medium Dark Roast\" height=\"18\" style=\"vertical-align: middle;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1095\/7444\/files\/Cup.svg?v=1675748279\" alt=\"Cup\" width=\"30\" style=\"vertical-align: middle;\"\u003e  \u003cstrong\u003eCup profile:\u003c\/strong\u003e Raspberry, Kiwi, Prune\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Cup:\u003c\/strong\u003e Prepare for a cup that keeps surprising you.
