    84.0 Cup Score

    Timaná, in southern Huila, is home to generations of smallholder farmers who grow coffee in diverse agroforestry systems, surrounded by native trees that help preserve the area’s biodiversity. Through their work with Cata Export, the community combines long-standing farming traditions with training and quality support that opens access to sustainable, global markets.

    This washed Castillo lot reflects that balance of heritage and precision. After selective hand-picking, cherries are pulped and undergo 48 hours of controlled oxidation to bring clarity and complexity to the cup. The coffee is then dried slowly on raised beds to 11% moisture content, ensuring stability and structure. The result is a clean, balanced brew with light caramel sweetness, soft toffee, bright orange, and a touch of walnut — a clear expression of the Timaná community’s dedication.

    Name Timaná Community
    Location Huila, Colombia See on a map

    In the southern hills of Huila lies Timaná, one of Colombia’s oldest towns and a place where coffee cultivation is deeply tied to community life. Generations of smallholder families have farmed here, working under the shade of native trees in diverse agroforestry systems that support both quality coffee and local biodiversity. The landscape, sitting between 1,500 and 1,800 metres above sea level, provides the ideal climate for slow, even cherry ripening.

    Through Cata Export, the Timaná community has been able to connect with global markets while keeping its traditions at the heart of production. Producers receive support with training, quality control, and sustainable trade, ensuring that their work is both environmentally responsible and economically fair. This collective approach allows the community to share its heritage while exploring new ways to highlight the quality and character of its coffees.
