A note from our coffee source:
"In Spanish, Las Perlitas means “Little Pearls” and throughout the harvest, it's quite
common that small-holders in Colombia produce lots that aren't large enough to be exported on their own. However, the quality is often just as good (or better) than samples received from larger lots. As such, we buy all coffees, regardless of size and create a larger, export-size lot based on cup score and profile. The result is Las Perlitas Huila; a celebrated coffee of various small lots from producers in Huila, whose farms range in elevation from 1,600 to 2,000 m.a.s.l. and grow Pink Bourbon. In most versions, there is usually a mix of varieties, which include Caturra and sometimes Geisha, but with the amount of Pink Bourbon being planted in Huila these days, we created a 100% Pink Bourbon Las Perlitas."
"In this iteration, the small lots are made up of producers in the following municipalities: Garzon, Gigante and Pitalito."

Our Mission:
To provide clean drink water to those who need it most.
Access to clean drinking water is essential to life. Without it, families walk for miles to get water which makes them sick, spend resources on medication and struggle to get their kids in school. Righty now, approximately 771 million or 1 out of every 10 people do not have access to safe water.
Chroma gives one dollar for every bag of coffee they sell towards the purchase and installation of hollow-fiber membrane, water filters through the company Filter of Hope.
