Colombian Coffee
Sort by
Colombia is renowned for producing some of the finest coffee in the world, and at the heart of the country's coffee production lies the region of Eje Cafetero, also known as the "Coffee Triangle." This area, which includes the departments of Caldas, Quindio and Riseralda is situated in the Andean region. It is home to fertile volcanic soil, high altitude, and ideal climatic conditions, all of which contribute to the exceptional quality of Colombian coffee.
The coffee grown in the Eje Cafetero region primarily consists of Arabica beans, known for their smooth, sweet, and fruity flavors. The altitude at which the beans are grown, typically between 1,200 and 1,800 meters above sea level, allows for slower ripening, resulting in a more complex and nuanced flavor profile. In addition, the region's consistent rainfall and warm temperatures provide the perfect environment for the cultivation of premium coffee beans.
The coffee production process in Eje Cafetero is steeped in tradition and craftsmanship. Colombian coffee is primarily grown on small, family-owned farms known as "fincas," where the coffee plants are meticulously tended to by experienced farmers.
In addition to its delicious flavor, Colombian coffee is also known for its strict quality control measures. The Colombian Coffee Growers Federation, known as FNC, is a regulatory body that ensures the quality and standards of Colombian coffee, as well as promoting sustainable and ethical practices within the industry.
