FrontStreet Coffee · Colombia Coffee Brand - Introduction to FrontStreet Coffee's Flower Moon Night

As the world's third-largest coffee exporter, Colombia's quality and flavor have always been topics of enthusiastic discussion among coffee enthusiasts. Its superior geographical and climatic conditions make Colombian coffee high-quality and delicious, renowned worldwide, and an essential presence in specialty coffee. Among these, the Huila region can be considered the flagship of Colombian coffee brands, producing coffees with delicate acidity, berry notes, and caramel aromas, offering abundant sweetness. Today, FrontStreet Coffee would like to recommend a Flower Moon Night coffee from the Huila region.

Huila

Huila Province is located in the southern part of the central mountain range in southern Colombia and is the country's most famous specialty coffee producing region. This area consists of hills surrounded by mountains, with cultivation altitudes above 1,500 meters. The most important rivers in Colombia converge here, bringing abundant water resources and moisture.

Contrary to the general impression of commercial Colombian coffee as balanced and smooth, many smallholder micro-batch specialty coffees actually possess distinct regional flavor characteristics.

In recent years, with the international market's emphasis on coffee quality and demands for specialty coffee, there has been a gradual shift away from the previous system of grading by bean size. Instead, the focus has moved to micro-regional selections provided by coffee farmers through smallholder organizations. Dozens of small farmers contribute their individual harvests, which are consolidated into micro-batches for sale. This approach allows for cupping each batch individually and directly selecting many high-quality, specific smallholder coffees.
