For many roasters, Colombian volume lots are the “foundation” that supports their daily lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Colombia, nearly ninety-six percent of coffee producers operate as smallholder farmers. Due to this unique market structure, it is absolutely crucial to find a reliable exporting partner to ensure consistent quality throughout the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is why TYPICA confidently introduces “Cadefihuila,” a producers’ cooperative in the Huila department of Colombia, as the ideal partner for sourcing volume lots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leveraging their robust network, they handle a wide range of coffees\u2014from rare micro-lots to classic volume lots. In fact, “volume lots” account for about 80% of their total volume. It is precisely within these volume lots that their extraordinary commitment to quality truly shines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here, we introduce three of Cadefihuila\u2019s volume lots and take a behind-the-scenes look at the quality control that has earned them the trust of buyers worldwide.

Signature Volume Lots<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Here are some of the signature volume lots from Cadefihuila\u2019s lineup:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supremo Huila Blend<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A regional blend made from coffee collected from producers across the Huila department. Based on Colombia’s Supremo standards, it consists of 95% screen 17\/18 and 5% screen 15. This volume lot represents the region, offering the excellent balance and stability characteristic of Huila.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Average Cupping Score: 83<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Palestina Blend<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A lot sourced exclusively from the Palestina region, which is highly renowned for producing high-quality coffee. Grown in highlands exceeding 1,700 meters above sea level, it boasts an exceptional cup quality of 84.5+ points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Average Cupping Score: 84.5+<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Palestina Blend Decaf<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This lot takes the high-quality regional “Palestina Blend” and processes it using the “EA (Ethyl Acetate) Decaffeination Method” (derived from sugarcane) at Descafecol, Colombia’s only large-scale industrial decaffeination facility. Despite being decaffeinated, it retains a rich flavor profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Average Cupping Score: 84.5+<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Cadefihuila\u2019s Volume Lots Never Waver<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

While Colombian volume lots can serve as the main component of a house blend, many roasters prioritize “unwavering quality” above all else when selecting these lots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cadefihuila maintains stable quality through a meticulously designed quality control system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Least 3 Quality Checks Before Export<\/strong><\/u><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cadefihuila operates 38 purchase points throughout the Huila department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u30fbAt Collection: Physical and cupping evaluations are conducted on-site when producers bring in their coffee.
\u30fbUpon Arrival at the Drying Station: Micro-lots are transported to Pitalito, and volume lots to Neiva. The entire volume is checked again and strictly categorized by score and profile.
\u30fbPost-Drying Station (Pre-Export): A third quality check is conducted during the final finishing stage.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

One of Huila\u2019s Largest In-House Drying Stations<\/strong><\/u><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality control begins even before the coffee reaches the warehouse. For certain commercial-grade coffees like the Supremo Huila Blend, coffee is purchased as wet parchment, and Cadefihuila manages the drying process themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To achieve this, they operate a massive facility capable of drying up to 40 tons of coffee per day. Equipped with vast patios and mechanical drying equipment, the coffee is stirred multiple times a day. By thoroughly protecting it with tarps during the night and rainy weather, they achieve uniform drying.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

Direct Feedback to Producers<\/strong><\/u><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If a defect is found during cupping, Cadefihuila\u2019s specialist team visits the producer directly. By analyzing the cause together and providing advice for improvement, they elevate the quality of the production site itself.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

Investing in the Future: Pushing Quality Further<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

No matter how thorough the drying management or systems are, the results are limited if the raw material brought in by producers is inconsistent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, Cadefihuila is currently constructing a new wet mill in Pitalito. It is projected to have a capacity of about 4 containers per month and, if all goes according to plan, will begin operations next year (2027).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This ongoing challenge aims to manage quality at a stage closer to the production site, enhancing quality consistency across the entire supply chain. The lots introduced here are born from this accumulation of infrastructure investment, quality control, and producer support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a partner to support various blends, Cadefihuila\u2019s narrative and exceptional quality are well worth experiencing.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
