Andino Especial

The department of Huila is a big player in the production of coffee in Colombia, having amazing agroclimatic conditions being bordered on the east and west by mountain ranges, and traversed by the mighty Magdalena River. On the southern part you’ll find the corregimiento of Bruselas, which is part of the municipality of Pitalito. Bruselas counts with some incredible conditions as it is close to the Macizo Colombiano where the Andes diverts into the three mountain ranges or cordilleras of Colombia and being also the birthplace of the five main rivers of Colombia such as the Magdalena and Cauca Rivers. The production of coffee has brought Bruselas notoriety, and specially of quality coffee, becoming the main economic income in the area. Bruselas is the corregimientos that produ-ces more volume of coffee in the Andes Region, hence the name of the brand: Andino Especial. It is a place with hard working coffee growers, where the knowledge has been passed through genera-tions as many of the farms. The steep and rugged mountains, plus the climate and people make this coffee outstanding and special from the heart of the Colombian Andes.
