Huila Reserve is a specialty coffee from the Huila region of Colombia, grown by smallholder farmers in rural areas. This coffee features Caturra, Castillo, and Tabi varietals cultivated at 1,700-2,000 meters altitude. The beans are washed processed and grown in clay loam volcanic ash soil. The coffee offers vibrant acidity and a delicate profile, with the region renowned for stone fruit and citrus notes, refined acidity, and delicate floral undertones.
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.
