Coffee Description: The El Tiple line of Colombia coffee is named for the Tiple, an instrument, used in traditional Colombian music. The tiple serves both as an accompanying instrument and for soloing. El Tiple is Genuine Origin's way of making crowd-pleasing Colombia coffees more accessible to roasters. Through El Tiple we will explore Colombia's distinctive micro-climates and flavor profiles. The El Tiple line of coffees are intended to be roastery workhorses: perfect as an accompanying coffee in blends or as a solo, single origin coffee. Huila El Tiple Excelso EP was sourced from small, family-owned farms throughout the Huila department.

Huila is currently the largest producer of coffee in Colombia. However, its development was unconventional and unlike other regions such as Antioquia, Santander or Cundinamarca. Abundant labor from Huila, traveled to traditional coffee producing provinces to work as pickers. When they returned to their homeland, they brought not only money, but also coffee beans and knowledge. The rest, as they say, is history.

This coffee flavors remind us of Milk chocolate, caramel, orange

Green coffee transparency: 1040lbs @ $4.10/lb, January 2024 (Commodity coffee price: $1.97/lb. Why is this important? Coffee pricing is complex and multifaceted, and sharing what we paid is an incomplete picture, but we believe in sharing the data we have available, hoping that will embolden others to do the same, with the ultimate goal of getting producers fairer pay for their excellent work.)
