It is believed that coffee was first brought to Colombia by priests - arriving within a decade or two after coffee first made it to the Americas via Martinique in the first half of the 17th century. At that time, coffee was likely a garden crop grown for local consumption and used as barter.
Even though it’s been 4,000 years, the soil resulting from the last major eruption of Tolima in greater Huila is still considered “young soil,” filled with nutrients that are no longer found at the same levels in old soil. There is a long list of elements on offer in volcanic soil that are fading or absent in other soils, such as high levels of potassium and nitrogen. Beyond the nutrients, the structure of volcanic soil is also beneficial to coffee growing. It can soak up and hold moisture while, at the same time, facilitate good drainage. This is why the greater Huila regions are known for producing some of the best cup profiles of Colombian coffee.
Dulima was created as a blend by our partners at Covoya to highlight the richness of the region. A selection of Colombia, Caturra and Castillo varietals, Dulima provides a classic Sepian profile of dark chocolate, cherry and citrus notes. This season, Dulima will stand alone as a single origin but will also be highlighted in our Grand Trunk Harmonie Blend - one of our best espresso blends to date.
