CARE & MAINTENANCE
Coffee beans are best preserved by storing them in an airtight container away from heat, light, and moisture — the four biggest enemies of freshness. Keep them at room temperature in a cool, dark cupboard rather than in the fridge or freezer, as temperature fluctuations can cause condensation that damages the beans. Always buy in small quantities and try to use them within two to four weeks of the roast date, as coffee begins to lose its flavor and aroma shortly after roasting. Avoid pre-grinding your beans until you're ready to brew, since ground coffee goes stale much faster than whole beans. If you do need to store a large supply, vacuum-sealed bags or containers with a one-way CO2 valve are ideal for maintaining freshness over a longer period.

What makes it sooo good...
Welcome to premium single origin coffee from Battlefield Coffee Company! This washed coffee from Colombia Huila Santa Maria is a gorgeous arabica sourced from one of South America's most celebrated and revered coffee-growing departments.
Huila is widely regarded as one of Colombia's finest coffee regions, and Santa Maria sits at the heart of what makes it so exceptional. Elevated between 1,500 and 1,600 meters above sea level, the farms here thrive in a microclimate shaped by the convergence of the Magdalena River valley and the towering peaks of the Colombian Andes. This dramatic terrain, combined with rich organic soils and abundant rainfall, creates growing conditions that consistently yield coffees of extraordinary depth and complexity. Huila producers are renowned for their meticulous attention to quality at every stage of cultivation, making this one of the most sought-after origins in the specialty coffee world.
The producers in Santa Maria hand pick only the ripest cherries at peak maturity. Once harvested, the cherries undergo a thorough selection process before pulping. After pulping, the beans are fermented, carefully washed, and dried to preserve their natural sweetness and vibrancy. Once dried, the coffee is placed in clean sacks and prepared for export, delivering the full character of this high-altitude Colombian gem.
