Colombia-Santa Mata (Santa Marta) Regional Fair Trade Association (FT)

Colombian coffee is widely sold in many producing countries, ranking the third largest in the world (the first is Brazilian coffee and the second is Vietnamese coffee). The main factor is that active volcanic activity has created the most fertile soil in the world. Grow coffee beans that are sweet, rich, very pleasing and easy to brew successfully. With Colombian coffee, you can enjoy a mellow atmosphere at home without going to a cafe. Whether it is pure black coffee or a variety of Colombian coffee formula coffee is a good choice. In recent years, because there is a coffee cup test competition to increase farmers' income, Colombian coffee has broken away from the old impression that it can only be used as a base coffee. Before that, it was regarded as commercial beans or base formula beans were rarely used as fine coffee alone, and the advantages and disadvantages of coffee were judged by the size of beans. In fact, this classification only represents the particle size and quality of coffee beans. This is an outdated grading system, but farms or cooperatives that grow naturally without fertilizers and pesticides in primitive rainforests at high altitudes are really good Columbian coffees. these farms usually produce coffee that is strong and hard, and the beans are small and turquoise.

Most of the Colombian coffee tree species are Kaddura, and the manor will be mixed with Tibica bourbon and so on. Almost all administrative regions have excellent producing areas and estates. About 500000 people in Colombia work in and around coffee production. 75% of the coffee is exported to countries around the world, earning 12.5% of the total foreign exchange. Colombia's unique water washing method, after more than 10 years of research and development, has reduced water consumption by 95% and pollution by 90% (the same as women's cooperatives), not only to preserve the natural ecology, but also to increase the sense of layering of coffee beans.

The Nevada Mountains (SIERRA NEVADA), located to the north near the Caribbean, is a protected national park. In the early years, the area was the largest producer of cocaine. The U.S. government invested $1 billion to get the Colombian government to remove the local cocaine into a protected area. Coffee farmers used to be mostly drug traffickers and guerrilla fighters, and the Fair Trade Association (FT) and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) mentored them to grow coffee. And ensuring the purchase price of coffee benefits farmers' families. Santa Marta is located in the Sierra Nevada range of 3300 to 4300 feet above sea level, and coffee is grown in fully shaded primeval forests. Direct Coffee, which was newly harvested in April 2010, is an organic bean certified by the Fair Trade Association (FT) and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).

The end of shallow baking (City): after grinding the beans is the aroma of nutty almonds, brewed with aromas of vanilla and wheat, there is little crisp, clean and earthy green plum acid in Colombian coffee, the taste of shallow roasted coffee is smooth, clean, thin and low complexity, but the woody flavor of traditional Colombian coffee is close to that of Costa rica Tarazu coffee, while the finish is still sweet with traditional special blueberries.

60 seconds after baking (Full City-): like to keep Santa Mata coffee beans a little more glossy and smooth at this baking degree, with a hint of blueberry jam, smooth and unastringent Kaka acidity, and a sweet finish with maple syrup.

Re-baking second explosion (Full City): hazelnut chocolate aroma, maple syrup or toffee taste very smooth will not feel particularly full-bodied, so the sweet spread of raisins on the tongue will not produce a dry and bitter condition, as the coffee temperature gradually drops, the blueberry flavor and sucrose are sweeter and sweeter as a whole.
