ABOUT

Las Perlitas or "Little Pearls" is a combination of small lots from Huila with similar profiles of 86+ point, of similar or better quality than any micro lot. Behind this group lot there are small farmers committed to producing high-quality coffee through experimentation and constant improvement, such as Deiro Gasca, Lizardo Imbachi, Erik Bravo and Delfin Carvajal. Their farms range in elevation from 1,600 to 2,000 m.a.s.l. and grow mainly Caturra, Castillo and Pink Bourbon.

Throughout the harvest, it's quite common that small-holders produce lots that aren't large enough to be exported on their own. However, the quality is often just as good (or better) than larger lots.
