Behind the scenes
Spanning 40 hectares of stunning volcanic landscape, La Cabaña Farm in Huila is a paradise for the 250,000 coffee trees that grow there. The soil is lush and fertile, whilst the bright sunlight and excellent access to water mean Huilanese farmers can grow exceptional coffees almost all year round.
Huila is a prime growing region known for its high-quality coffees and innovative, conscientious farmers. Crops are grown with great care before being skilfully processed, often using novel methods. This combination of farming excellence and pioneering spirit makes Huilanese coffees highly sought after.
This coffee epitomises everything Huilanese – a carefully grown microlot treated to 200 hours of anaerobic fermentation, creating a complex cup that perfectly balances acidity and sweetness. Lovingly hand-roasted here in Rutland, this Must-Try coffee is unmissable.

What does the score mean?
Some coffees are better than others, with the very best being awarded the title of speciality. The people who decide this are called Q graders and undergo rigorous training to ensure they are judging coffees consistently and fairly, no matter which Q grader is evaluating which coffee. Each coffee is given a score out of 100, with those coffees scoring 80 or more classed as speciality.
Speciality coffee represents the best coffee has to offer. Once you get above that magic score of 80, you’re in for a treat. Interestingly, above this point, higher scores don’t necessarily mean better coffees. Rarity, unusualness, and personal taste all play a part. A 90+ coffee may have a unique flavour, but that doesn’t make it ‘better’ than a beautifully balanced 84, and certainly doesn’t guarantee you’ll enjoy drinking it more.

Roasting
Unlike with commodity-grade coffee, we’re never fixing a problem when roasting. Each coffee is different, so we roast carefully, ensuring we preserve the beautiful origin characteristics that make our speciality coffees special.

Where does the name come from?
La Cabaña is a project started by Danilo Perez, a pioneering young Columbian farmer. Centred on the principles of quality and innovation, the La Cabaña project produces small batches of highly differentiated coffees. We love his work and have kept his name on the coffee he grew, and we’ve roasted.

What is a Must-Try coffee?
Our new Must-Try range is a series of exceptional microlot coffees from around the world. Microlots are small crops of coffee, kept separate to preserve their origin characteristics and beautiful flavours. Each microlot in our Must-Try range has been carefully curated and roasted before being delivered to you. There’s only one downside – the limited amount of it available. When it’s gone, it’s gone. So get yours today or risk missing out!
