Huila

This washed coffee from Huila, Colombia comes to us through the Huila Condor Project, a community-focused initiative led by 96 women producers across Pitalito, Timaná, and Bruselas. Grown at elevations between 1,500 and 1,900 meters, this Caturra and Castillo lot reflects both careful farming and intentional processing.

In the cup, it’s clean and comforting with a natural sweetness—think vanilla and caramel—balanced by bright, citrus-forward acidity. Notes of orange and tangerine bring freshness, with subtle fruity undertones that keep the cup lively without being overwhelming.

The coffee is traditionally washed, starting with hand-selected ripe cherries, followed by a 24–36 hour fermentation and slow sun-drying over 15–20 days. The result is a transparent, dependable profile that clearly expresses place and process.

This coffee matters to us not only because it tastes great, but because of how it’s produced. The Huila Condor Project prioritizes long-term relationships, quality education, fair and direct payment. It’s the kind of work we believe in—coffee that’s done thoughtfully, supports real people, and stands on its own in the cup.

Our Approach to Transparency

At Euphoria, transparency begins with relationships. We believe that great coffee is rooted in mutual trust, respect, and shared commitment, long before it ever reaches your cup.

Instead of focusing solely on numbers or certifications, we prioritize long-standing partnerships with the farmers who grow our coffee. Some of these relationships have been years in the making, built through consistent communication, shared goals, and genuine care for one another’s success.

We believe the length of these relationships is one of the most meaningful indicators of transparency. A farmer would not choose to work with us year after year if we were cutting corners, negotiating unfairly, or treating their work as anything less than the craft it is. When both sides continue to return, it’s because the partnership is healthy, respectful, and mutually beneficial.

For some of our newer relationships, the foundation is the same: direct access and open communication are non-negotiable. We do not pursue sourcing situations where we can’t talk directly with the people producing the coffee, nor do we enter relationships that don’t have the potential to grow into something long-term. Our goal is always consistency, trust, and shared success, not one-time transactions.

Whenever possible, we visit our producing partners face to face. Sitting down together, walking their farms, and experiencing their work firsthand is invaluable. These moments deepen our connection and help ensure that our sourcing practices reflect our values in real, tangible ways.

When you enjoy our coffee, you’re supporting real people, real families, and real histories, thoughtfully connected across the world. That’s the heart of what we do, and that’s the kind of transparency we’re proud to stand behind.
