What is score?

  • The SCA (Specialty Coffee Association) is the global body that sets the standards for specialty coffee. Their scoring system, based on a 100-point scale, evaluates coffees based on various factors like aroma, flavour, acidity, body, aftertaste, sweetness and balance. Coffees scoring 80+ are considered specialty grade, with those scoring 86+ representing the top tier of quality and complexity.

What is single origin?

  • Single origin means the coffee comes from one specific region, farm, or cooperative, rather than a blend from multiple places. This allows you to experience the unique characteristics of that area’s climate, soil, and processing methods.

What are tasting notes?

  • Tasting notes describe the natural flavours found in the coffee, such as chocolate, citrus, or floral tones. These are not added flavours but arise from the bean’s variety, growing conditions, and roasting process.

What is the processing method?

  • This refers to how coffee beans are removed from the cherry after harvesting, which influences their final taste.

The Producer

La Jaquima is the result of generations of dedication from the smallholder farming families of Huila, working together through a cooperative model that allows them to share knowledge, resources and access to better markets. Each farmer tends their own small plot with meticulous care, hand selecting only the ripest cherries at harvest. It is this collective commitment to quality, passed down through families and shared across the cooperative, that gives La Jaquima its consistency and character.

Huila, Colombia

Located in southern Colombia, where the Andes mountains converge. The region is known for its cool climate, fertile soil, and focus on quality coffee production. Smallholder farmers in the Pitalito area produce specialty coffees, with selective harvesting and careful processing. The Departmental coffee committee provides training to improve farming techniques. Huila also holds historical significance, with the San Agustin archaeological site offering insight into pre-Columbian cultures.

WASHED PROCESS

The washed process involves removing the outer skin and fruit from the coffee cherries before fermentation. After the cherries are depulped, the beans are fermented for 8 to 72 hours, depending on the conditions, to remove the remaining mucilage. The beans are then washed in fresh water and dried to the desired moisture content. This method enhances the coffee's clean, bright flavour and clarity.
