Follow the caf é (Wechat official account vdailycom) and found that Beautiful Cafe opened a small shop of its own.

Colombia is now the third largest coffee producer and exporter in the world. It is located in the northwest of South America, facing the Caribbean Sea to the north, Venezuela to the east, Brazil to the southeast, Ecuador to the south and Panama to the northwest.

Colombian coffee is famous for its boutique quality, soft taste and high taste. It all depends on the fact that the right climate in Colombia provides a real "natural pasture" for coffee. And the coffee varieties planted are mainly high-quality Arabica varieties. Coffee trees in Colombia are mainly cultivated in the Andes, on steep slopes about 1300 meters above sea level, where the annual temperature is about 18 degrees Celsius, annual rainfall is 2000 to 3000 millimeters, latitude 1 °- 11 °north, longitude 72 °- 78 °west, and 2000 meters above sea level. These conditions are very suitable for the growth of coffee, coupled with a mild climate, humid air, and can be harvested regardless of season. Therefore, this is why Colombian coffee is of high quality and enjoys a high reputation in the world.

Tujing, the exquisite producing area of Columbia.

Colombia, on the other hand, has three Codiera mountains running north-south, right into the Andes. Coffee is grown along the highlands of these mountains. The mountain steps provide a diverse climate, where the whole year is the harvest season, and different kinds of coffee ripen at different times. And fortunately, unlike Brazil, Colombia doesn't have to worry about frost. Colombia has about 2.7 billion coffee trees, 66 per cent of which are planted in modern plantations and the rest on small traditionally run farms.

One of the most famous producing areas is Nalinglong province. The other real name is Narino, literally translated as "Narinho", and translated as "Na Linglong" by the domestic coffee industry. Na Linglong has a balanced and soft flavor, clean and rich flavors of apricot, grapefruit and toffee, so it is popular with coffee gluttons. And this is because: Colombia is famous for its high altitude, the lower altitude in the north-central part mainly produces commercial beans, and the south-central part mainly produces high-quality beans. The south-central region is also the area for the winners of previous "extraordinary cups" and SCAA "Coffee of the year", and Nalinglong Province is one of them. At the same time, the quality of Colombian coffee beans is divided into more than 200 grades, with SUPERMO as the highest grade, followed by EXCELSO, but only selected coffee with beans No. 18 (diameter 18x64 inches in diameter) can be included in the selection. And Na Linglong is the SUPERMO quality. And this is also closely related to Na Linglong's choice of high-quality Kaddura varieties and high-quality natural conditions.

Nalinglong province is closer to the equator, about one degree north latitude, with plenty of light throughout the year; the elevation is more than 1600 meters, and there are few snow peaks all the year round in the territory. Steep mountains and narrow steep slopes bring a warm and diverse climate. The warm and humid air rising from the canyon protects coffee grown at high altitude from frost, so that coffee can be grown smoothly at an altitude of 2300 meters. Volcanic soil provides rich nutrients for the growth of coffee.

And the annual rainfall in Nalinglong province shows a peak distribution, with a rainy season, which lasts from October of that year to May of the following year, and the dry season lasts for June, July and August. However, even in dry months, coffee farmers will not worry too much, because the warm current caused by trade winds from the southern continent meets with cool nights to produce enough water vapor to replenish coffee trees. Thanks to this, Na Linglong's secret of quality has come to light.

As a result, it is no wonder that Na Linglong won the top six places in the 2010 Columbia COE Competition, with eight places in Top10 and 17 places in Top21. The high quality can be seen from this.

And that's why I only recommend Na Linglong this bean. If you choose moderate baking, the rich flavors of apples, apricots, grapefruit, cream and toffee will never disappoint you.

Variety grade

The main varieties of Colombian coffee are Arabica coffee (coffea arabica), that is, small fruit coffee (small grain coffee). Relatively speaking, large fruit coffee (coffea robusta) is mostly grown in Africa of origin, such as the famous Madagascar coffee. There are several varieties of small fruit coffee. Brazilian coffee, which has the largest yield in the world, has larger seeds, stronger adaptability and high fruit yield; by contrast, the mild coffee produced in Colombia is a more high-quality variety, which is related to its special geographical location and climatic environment.

Colombian coffee is divided into more than 200 grades, the regional coffee is very strong. Columbia beans take the SUPERMO as the highest grade, followed by the EXCELSO, but only selected coffee of more than 18 beans (18cm 64 inches in diameter) can be included in the selection. Colombian coffee has a balanced flavor and a smooth taste, just like a gentleman in coffee. It has a wide range of producing areas, but the coffee in the central mountain area is the best and has a thick texture. The most famous producing areas are medellin, armenia and manizales, which are commonly referred to as "mam". Yes, "Na Linglong Coffee" (narino) is delicious and of good quality. It is said that starbucks, which specializes in specialty coffee, has the exclusive right to buy narino supermo coffee beans, which are common in their chain stores.

Unique flavor

Colombian coffee has a silky taste. Colombian coffee is equated with high quality and good taste. It is sweet in acid, low in bitterness, rich in nutrition, with a unique sour and mellow taste, and the sour, bitter and sweet flavors of Colombian super coffee match well. Unique fragrance, after drinking, the aroma fills the whole mouth. Exhale the aroma from the mouth again from the nose, the smell is very full. Perhaps you will find it too overbearing, because it will occupy the taste buds, mind and even soul as quickly as possible. In people's life, it is full of sour, sweet, bitter and astringent, and the aroma of this coffee is enough to take away everything in the world. What people enjoy is not just a cup of coffee, but also the quiet moment that coffee brings to people. Columbia super is characterized by its aroma, rich and thick, with clear high-quality acidity, high balance, endless aftertaste. [1]

The world coffee is divided into two series, one is the "hard" coffee represented by Brazil, which has a strong flavor, and the other is the "soft" coffee represented by Colombia, which has a light flavor. The difference lies in the altitude of the producing area and the method of planting. Coffee is planted extensively in hilly red soil in Brazil and intensive cultivation in mountain black soil in Colombia. The Colombian super aroma is rich and thick, with clear high-quality acidity, high balance, and sometimes nutty, lingering aftertaste. In terms of appearance and quality, the Columbia Super Class is quite excellent, just like a woman's vaguely charming, charming and just right, memorable. [1]

Each caffeine variety has a different origin and has its own strong character, such as the masculine Mantenin, which resembles the character of an iron and steel man, and the mellow, fragrant Blue Mountain Coffee, which is called the gentle woman's yearning addiction. Columbia Super Coffee, which has always been light-scented, is the most suitable for those who like light sex. Such people do not want to drink coffee as a sitting thing, from sour, sweet, bitter, astringent experience what profound philosophy of life, just want to simply drink a cup of delicious coffee, a cup of hot Colombian coffee, let these people realize that "the best state of life is rich and quiet." Quiet, because of getting rid of the temptation of external fame and gain; rich, because of having the treasure of the inner spiritual world. They believe that the greatest happiness in life is to reap such an incisive interpretation of the realm. [1]

Colombian coffee has a bitter experience, which is as astringent as life. Looking back on the hardship in the past, I will feel its sweetness and warmth even more, and I want to let the mood stop in the consciousness that begins to awaken for a long time. Suffering is pain, clear and quiet, the last fragrance has become a kind of spiritual victory. [1]
