A Distinctive Expression from the Heart of Huila

At the core of Colombia’s Huila region, our sister company SKN partners with more than 4,000 smallholder producers, working hand in hand to elevate quality and preserve the character of the land. Supported by a dedicated team of 16 agronomists, these producers are guided through best practices that enhance both cup quality and long-term sustainability.

Every coffee purchase is carefully monitored by local agencies to ensure full traceability and consistent excellence, reinforcing Huila’s reputation as one of Colombia’s most trusted and high-performing coffee regions.

Traditional Farming and Careful Processing

Across Huila, most farms are planted with Caturra and follow time-honoured methods passed down through generations. Ripe cherries are de-pulped using hand-cranked machines, then dried slowly on raised beds, allowing fresh air and warm sunlight to shape the coffee’s structure and flavour.

This gentle, deliberate approach to processing preserves clarity and balance, capturing the authentic expression of Huila’s terroir in every lot.

Crafted at Origin, Defined in the Cup

At the San José mill in Neiva-Huila, the SKN team cups through hundreds of samples to carefully craft this regional blend. What began as a familiar harvest ritual revealed something exceptional—a coffee that rises above expectation and embodies the true essence of Huila.

BESO BESO opens with a lively, citrus-driven freshness that evolves into a layered and engaging acidity. Notes of ripe peach and brown sugar are complemented by subtle hints of nuts and coffee sweetness, leading to a clean, refreshing finish that lingers gracefully on the palate.
