Huila
Huila is a department in the south of Colombia. Its coffee name is a denomination of origin, Café del Huila, declared by Colombia's industrial property office in resolution 17989 of 16 April 2013 at the growers' federation's request. The Colombian State holds it and the Federación Nacional de Cafeteros authorises its use. The office's register defines it as washed arabica from 35 named municipalities of the department, grown between 1,000 and 2,200 metres. CoffeeHQ has read the register entry, not the resolution or the regulation of use, so it states no variety rule and nothing about how the coffee tastes.
