This coffee comes from the Colombian region of Huila, located in the Magdalena Valley surrounded by the mighty Andean sub-ranges. It`s the origin of numerous Cup of Excellencewinning lots and a destination with Denomination of Origin status. Coffee from here is known for its unique tasting profile with bright acidity, medium body, sweet and fruity flavor. This is a complex work of the high altitudes, nitrogen-rich volcanic soil, frequent blossoming periods and climate. The latter include the slight variations between day and night temperatures with the year-round distribution of rainfall. The high level of humidity also creates special conditions for processing and drying. The Central Cooperative of Coffee Growers of Huila - COOCENTRAL - is a non-profit and social interest associative company. It brings together about 3,128 members in the municipalities of Garzón, Gigante, Agrado, Pital, Tarqui, Suaza and Guadalupe. They started in 1975 with supplying basic servises such as purchasing coffee and saling agro-industrial inputs. Now Coocentral has turned into the great Coffee Industrial Park with the largest drying mill in the country, separate threshers for industrial needs and micro-lots, warehouses as well as quality laboratory. They provide credit, coffee mechanics and technical services, own a roastery, coffeeshops and a hotel. In 2007 Coocentral created the social foundation of Fundecafe cooperative to manage resources and seek partnership with government and international institutions as well as to develop different social programms. Among the latter there are Women Coffee Growers Program or the Coocentral Housing Improvement Program.
