Columbia Coffee Bean processing: washing

Our Colombian coffee beans come from a coffee farm in a small village in Boyaca County, less than a few hours' drive from Bogota. There are more than 100 small and medium-sized peasant families in this village. Several farmhouses on a mountain are scattered, limited to planting "Tipica" in the past, and a very small amount of continuous production. The greatest charm of "Tipica" is the greatest charm of coffee, where it has both superior aroma and sweetness. These farm coffee trees are handed down from ancestors to generations, and the coffee cherries naturally fall after the old tree has withered and grow into new coffee trees, which is really "laissez-faire cultivation."

Growing environment

Colombia's coffee-producing area is located at the foot of the Andes, which extends three main mountains, namely, the Cordillera, the Central Cordillera and the West Cordillera, and coffee is grown on the highlands formed by these mountains. The pleasant climate of Colombia provides a wonderful garden of Eden for coffee. It is mild and humid here, and different kinds of coffee can mature one after another in different periods. In Colombia, coffee cultivation has reached 1.07 million hectares, there are about 302000 coffee plantations in the country, and 30 to 40 per cent of the rural population depends directly on coffee production. Although there are many farms in Colombia, they are not large in area. The area of each farm is only about 2 hectares, and more than 80% of the coffee plantations have only about 5000 coffee trees, an average of 3000. Thus it can be seen that agriculture in Colombia belongs to the small-scale farm type. Locals plant tall trees or banana trees around the coffee trees, which can build an Arbor for the coffee trees at the seedling stage to ensure the environment needed for the coffee to grow. Due to the high humidity, small temperature difference and slow ripening of coffee beans in the coffee forest, which is conducive to the accumulation of caffeine and aromatic substances, the quality of Colombian coffee is very good.

In addition, because most farmers are poor, they cannot afford to buy fertilizers and pesticides. Only use home-made organic fertilizers.

Coffee trees that have to be cultivated in a "completely organic environment" are safely cultivated in the fine soil of the village.

It's not too much to call it absolute organic coffee beans.
