Columbia-Bishop Del Obispo Mountain Farm

Colombia is currently the third largest coffee producer in the world, after Brazil and Vietnam. It first planted commercial beans in the 1830s. In the 20th century, coffee accounted for the largest export crop. The mountainous terrain, coupled with a variety of tropical microclimate, provides an ideal planting environment. 75% of the total output is sold abroad, making it the most important source of foreign exchange earnings.

Traditionally ripe coffee cherries are washed with water. In the past 15 years, the Coffee Research Center in Colombia has developed a system to protect the ecological environment, which requires little water treatment, which can reduce water pollution by 90% and reduce water consumption by 95%. This treatment can not only effectively maintain the ecology, but also improve the quality. Small farms sprinkle shelled coffee beans on the flat roof of their homes and bask in the sun. Colombia has a good climate and a large temperature difference, and from a regional point of view, it produces almost all the year round. The main harvest time is from October of each year to February of the following year, and November and December are harvest periods.

The main varieties include Kaddura Caturra, Columbia Colombia, Tibica Tipica, Bourbon Bourbon, Elephant Bean Maragogype, and Tabi. Farms and cooperatives across the country, big or small, are distributed in more than 500000 towns and 14 major coffee producing areas-including Nalinglong Nari ñ o, Cauca in Cauca, Meta in Meta, Huila in Huilan, Tolima in Tolima, Quindio in Kindio, Caldas in Caldas, Risaralda in Lisalda. Antioquia in Antioquia, Valle in Valley, Cundinamarca in Cundinamarca, Boyac á in Boyaca, Santander in Santander and Norte de Santander in North Santander. A total of 2 million Colombians depend on coffee cultivation for a living, contributing 12.5 per cent to local agricultural gross domestic product (GDP).

Huila Huilan province is located in western Colombia. Coffee grows on the slopes of the canyons formed by the western seaside mountains and the eastern mountains. This area has always been the barn of good coffee in Colombia. Del Obispo Bishop Hill Farm, a mountain area that has produced coffee for more than a century, has 300 families dependent on coffee income, and most families also grow plantains, dragon fruits and mangoes. The farm is currently subject to government-led agricultural regulatory procedures to improve the quality of coffee and increase the income of farmers while protecting the local environment.

Overall comment: Bishop Del Obispo Mountain Farm in Huila Uila Province is the winning farm of the coffee contest! The feature is that there is no traditional majestic rustic focus on the performance of floral aromas, and the aromas of boiled blueberries and roses are somewhat impractical, which is the key to winning the 2011 Columbia contest.
