Known for its humid climate and steady temperatures—typically between 18–21ºC—this area provides ideal growing conditions for Colombian Supremo green coffee beans. Cooler months from May to July can see temperatures dip to 12–14ºC, adding seasonal variation that contributes to complex cup profiles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis unroasted coffee is named for the Tiple, a traditional Colombian string instrument. “El Tiple” is Genuine Origin’s way of making crowd-pleasing Colombian green coffee beans more accessible to roasters, offering a curated blend that highlights the country's diverse microclimates and regional flavor expressions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll the coffees in this blend are sourced from small, family-owned farms in Pitalito, grown at altitudes ranging from 1,500 to 1,800 masl. These carefully selected Colombian Supremo green coffee beans showcase the best of what Huila has to offer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExpect rich milk chocolate notes layered with caramel, vanilla, and roasted almond flavors. A subtle hint of florals adds complexity, while the medium body and balanced acidity make this unroasted coffee a favorite for those seeking a smooth, sweet, and satisfying roast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Huila Coffee Department\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Huila region is always a favorite when it comes to Colombian coffee. In addition to high-quality – and often award-winning – green coffee beans, Huila is celebrated for its distinctly delicate cup profile, which features bright acidity, sweetness, and a fragrant aroma.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHuila’s proximity to the equator and it is rich with volcanic soil. Coffee from Huila has a signature profile: fruit and caramel notes, sweet acidity, and intense aromas. Huila’s two harvests occur between September – December (main crop) and April – May\/June (mitaca crop).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSupremo – Colombian Coffee Quality Designation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Colombia Coffee Federation classifies and evaluates green coffee quality by screen size and the number of defects present in a sample. In Colombia, green coffee beans are considered specialty if it scores above 80 points, has zero primary defects, and has no more than five secondary defects in a 500g sample.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Supremo coffee bean classification signifies that the green coffee has a screen size of 17. That means the beans have passed through a sifter with holes that are 18\/64 inch wide. Larger-sized beans are often correlated with higher quality, although screen size is not the only indicator of coffee quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWashed Process Green Coffee\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the “washed” or “wet” process coffee cherries are floated and sorted to ensure consistent ripeness and to remove any defective cherries. The seeds (coffee beans) are then removed from their skins using depulping machines and typically moved to fermentation tanks to remove the mucilage—the remaining fruit remnants. Afterward, the coffee is dried until it reaches its optimal moisture level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWashed processing has become widely popular, but, as its name suggests, can be highly water-intensive. The cup profile of washed coffees tends to reflect the terroir of the coffee. The processing method allows the growing conditions, the region, and the true character of the coffee to shine through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eColombian Coffee\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver half a million families dedicate their livelihoods to producing unroasted Colombia green coffee on small farms that dot the country’s volcanic mountain ranges. As the world’s third-largest producing country, the volume, quality, and variety that comes out of Colombia year-round is staggering. Coffee from Colombia is never dull, and with 16 coffee-producing regions along three mountain ranges and two harvests each year, Colombia always has fresh coffee on hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"banner-content-bottom\" class=\"content-banner banner-content-bottom\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"porcupinecoffeeroasting","offers":[{"title":"Whole \/ 12-oz (Regular Bag)","offer_id":51766811066584,"sku":null,"price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Whole \/ Sample (4-oz)","offer_id":51766811099352,"sku":null,"price":6.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Whole \/ 1.5 Pounds","offer_id":51766811132120,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Whole \/ 3 Pounds","offer_id":51766811164888,"sku":null,"price":46.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Whole \/ 5 Pounds","offer_id":51766811197656,"sku":null,"price":68.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ground \/ 12-oz (Regular Bag)","offer_id":51766811230424,"sku":null,"price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ground \/ Sample (4-oz)","offer_id":51766811263192,"sku":null,"price":6.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ground \/ 1.5 Pounds","offer_id":51766811295960,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ground \/ 3 Pounds","offer_id":51766811328728,"sku":null,"price":46.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ground \/ 5 Pounds","offer_id":51766811361496,"sku":null,"price":68.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0628\/2356\/3480\/files\/Colombia-June_26COTM.png?v=1780325651","url":"https:\/\/www.porcupinecoffeeroasting.com\/products\/colombia-june-26-coffee-of-the-month","provider":"Porcupine Coffee Roasting","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
