La Muralla is an informal group of young producers from one of the southernmost areas of the Huila department, specifically from the village of San Agustín. On average, this is the youngest group of growers, most of whom are between the ages of 20 and 30, which is reflected in the energy and enthusiasm they devote to producing the highest quality specialty coffee. Cooperation with partners from Osito, who have been working with farmers in this area for a long time and specifically support local producers, has enabled this group's coffee to be included in the range for the second time. The blend of Papayo and Pink Bourbon varieties brings a lively citrus freshness, a bright acidity reminiscent of cranberries, and a refreshing herbal undertone, which together create a dynamic and balanced flavor profile.
In the washed method, the cherries first pass through a pulper, which removes the skin and pulp. The remaining green beans with pulp residue are then fermented for several hours to make it easier to separate the remaining pulp. After fermentation, the beans are washed with water to remove any remaining sugar. The coffee is then dried in the sun on concrete slabs or raised beds. In some cases, mechanical dryers are used if outdoor conditions are not suitable. The resulting coffee processed by this method has a cleaner taste, higher acidity, and distinct fruity notes.
