The History of growing Coffee in Colombia

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.
