Pillar is excited to introduce another Tabi from the Vergara Brothers. There is a difference between 'good consistent quality with no faults' coffee and 'competition grade' coffee. The most striking difference is flavour complexity and clarity; they are just on another level. This coffee is certainly of the latter, with driving factors evident across all facets of coffee production.

Huila, in southwestern Colombia, sits between the Central and Eastern Andes, with the Magdalena Valley down the middle. The varied elevation and climate make it one of the country's most complex and unique coffee regions. This exceptional coffee is grown at Finca Las Flores, under the care of brothers Diego and Jhoan Vergara.

There is ripe and then there is right. The cherries for this selected lot by the Vergara Brothers are harvested at 'just ripe' or what is sometimes referred to as the semi-ripe stage. This early picking ensures they retain their unique characteristics whilst avoiding any 'too intense' fermented flavours.
