The history of coffee cultivation in Colombia can be traced back to the Spanish colonial era in the 16th century, and there are many theories about the history of coffee in Colombia:

One: it is said to come from the sea island of the Caribbean and from El Salvador in Central America.

Second: in 1808, a priest introduced coffee beans to Colombia for the first time from the French Antilles via Venezuela. One of them is that Colombia's first coffee seeds were imported from Venezuela through the province of Santander.

Third: the earliest records of coffee cultivation in Colombia appear in the book "The Illustrated Orinoca" written by Jose Gumilla, a Spanish missionary. He describes what he saw when he preached on both sides of the Meta River in 1730, in which he mentioned the local coffee plantation. By 1787, other missionaries had spread coffee to other parts of Colombia.

Colombia, located in the northwest of South America, is a beautiful country with a long history. Indians have lived on this land since ancient times. It was colonized by Spain in 1531 and gained independence in 1819. It was renamed in 1886 to commemorate Columbus, the discoverer of the American continent. Colombia has beautiful mountains and rivers, beautiful scenery, pleasant climate, spring all year round and fresh air. Colombia is rich in products, especially coffee, flowers, gold and emeralds are known as the "four treasures". Today, the country is the second largest coffee producer after Brazil, the world's largest exporter of Arabica coffee beans and the world's largest exporter of washed coffee beans. Colombian coffee is often described as silky and smooth. Of all the coffees, it is the most balanced, soft, smooth and ready to drink, and it has won praise that no other coffee can match: known as "green gold".

Kaddura (Caturra), a natural variety of Arabica variety bourbon, was discovered in Brazil in 1937. Its tree is not as tall and shorter as bourbon. Due to inheriting the blood of bourbon, the resistance is relatively weak, but the yield is higher than that of bourbon. Although found in Brazil, Kaddura is not suitable for growing in Brazil, so it is not planted on a large scale in Brazil, but is popular in Central and South America, such as Colombia, Costa Rica and Nicaragua. Kaddura is widely planted in Brazil.

Compared with these botanical characteristics, people may be more concerned about the taste of Kaddura. At the site where Kaddura is planted, the higher the altitude, the higher the quality, but the corresponding yield is also less. When Kaddura is slightly roasted, the sour aroma is obvious and the whole is bright, and the sweetness can be very good with proper treatment, but the mellowness of coffee is relatively low compared with bourbon, and the cleanliness of the taste is a little less.

Kaddura usually has red berries, but there are very few areas with yellow Kaddura, such as Hawaii, where there are very few yellow Kaddura.

Kaduai is an artificial hybrid of Kaddura and Mondu Novo. Kaduai has a good ability to resist natural disasters, especially wind and rain.

Kaduai tree species are relatively low, compared with other coffee trees, the fruit of Kaduai is stronger and harder to pick. The fruit is both red and yellow. So far, it has not been found that yellow fruit tastes better than red fruit. On the contrary, some people found in the cup test that although the coffee processed by some yellow fruits has good acidity, the cleanliness of the coffee taste is worse than that of the red fruit.

Kaduai was cultivated in Brazil and is now widely grown in Central America.

Colombia Santa Rita Special Reserve

Country: Colombia

Producing area: Antioquia province

Altitude: 1600-2100 m

Treatment: washing

Santa Rita Manor is located in the Colombian province of Antioquia, located in a micro-producing area adjacent to the Andes. This high-quality coffee is made together by nine nearby farms. The nine farms still handle the coffee in the traditional way: picking coffee cherries by hand, then washing the coffee fruits with traditional water, and drying the treated coffee beans in a scaffolding. The environment around the Andes makes this coffee-growing area rich in volcanic soil and rich in water resources.
