Colombian coffee, which originated in Colombia, is one of the few individual coffees sold in the world under the name of the country. The picture above is the famous symbol of Colombian coffee, and the mountain behind is the famous Andes, implying that Colombian Arabica coffee is grown in high-altitude mountains; and that mule (yes, it is neither a horse nor a donkey, it is the baby of a horse and a donkey), it is the main means of transportation of raw coffee beans in Colombia, because the mountain road is rugged, so mules can only be used to carry coffee to the processing plant or downhill. And the front uncle used to call him "Juan Valdez". He is the representative image of Colombian coffee growers, which distinguishes him from coffee from other countries of origin, so this logo is very meaningful. it also has high recognition and popularity in the coffee industry.

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 the natural conditions for producing high-quality coffee, close to the equator, about 1 degree north latitude, sufficient light throughout the year; more than 1600 meters above sea level, and snow-capped peaks are not uncommon all the year round.

Steep mountains and long and steep slopes bring temperature diversity. Warm and moist air rising from the canyon protects coffee grown at high altitude from the threat of frost, and coffee can be grown smoothly at a height of 2300 meters. Volcanic soil provides rich nutrients for coffee growth.

Nalinglong has a peak distribution of rainfall throughout the year, with a rainy season that 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 do not have to worry too much that warm trade winds from the southern continent will produce water vapor when they meet on cooler nights, replenishing coffee trees.

Usually, after continuous drying followed by a rain, the coffee tree will usher in the flowering season. After the first precipitation in Nalinglong, September, the coffee flowering season will be ushered in. Accordingly, the harvest season will begin in April the following year, and the high-altitude producing areas may last until August.

Narino, like other Colombian regions, produces a lot of coffee every year, but only a small amount is boutique coffee, including this model student. Model students are supervised by the famous la minita, a Colombian boutique coffee under Raminita, and the essence of the Narino producing area. Carefully select the specific small farms and agricultural products in the producing area, and only select the most delicious beans in the harvest period to manually select the supremo grade. The production process is carried out in full accordance with the "Costa Rican European Promotion Standard", * * is different from other Colombian coffee. More refined and more rigorous, annual output is scarce, accounting for only 4 per cent of Narino's total output.

Na Linglong has a balanced and soft flavor, clean and rich flavors of apricot, grapefruit and toffee, so it is popular with coffee gluttons. 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.
