This specialty coffee comes from Planadas in the Tolima region of Colombia. Grown by the indigenous Nasa Wesx community at altitudes between 1,700 and 2,000 meters above sea level, the coffee is cultivated in fertile volcanic ash soils shaped by the towering Huila volcano. The organic lot features Castillo and Caturra varieties processed using the washed method. The coffee offers tropical fruit sweetness and a smooth hint of vanilla.
Based in Rye, New Hampshire but rooted in Colombian heritage, La Mulita was founded by Medellin native Max Pruna who discovered specialty coffee through George Howell in 2015. The roastery exclusively focuses on Colombian single origins from small farms between 2 to 5 acres, paying farmers three times the standard rate for quality beans scoring 84 points and above. Named after the mules that transport coffee cherries down Colombian mountains, they travel annually to Colombia to maintain direct relationships with producers and roast in small batches to ensure exceptional freshness. Won WMUR Viewers Choice Best Coffee in NH 2021.
