The three Codiera mountains in Colombia run north and south to the Andes, and local coffee farmers grow coffee along the highlands of these mountains, with diverse climatic production conditions; and because of changes in altitude, a large part of Colombia's coffee industry is produced by smallholder production. However, unlike the coffee-producing countries in Central America, which are mostly classified by the altitude of their growth, Colombian coffee is distinguished by the size of the bean-shaped mesh, of which the Supremo grade above 17 mesh is the largest, and the next grade is the 16-mesh EXCELSO EXTRA.

Vera province, located in the southern part of the Central Mountains in southern Colombia, is the country's most famous boutique coffee producing area. This area is a hilly land surrounded by mountains, planted more than 1500 meters above sea level, where the most important rivers in Colombia meet, bringing abundant water resources and moisture. Contrary to the general impression that a large amount of Colombian coffee is balanced and smooth, the fine Goran products produced by many small farmers in micro batches are actually very characteristic of the flavor of the producing area. In recent years, with the attention to the quality of coffee and the demand for fine coffee in the international market, the original bean size grading system has been gradually abandoned to micro-batch (Micro-regional selections) provided by small farmers in micro-production areas, and dozens of small farmers have provided their unit harvest into a micro-batch to sell, and because of this, they have more opportunities to measure each batch by cup. Directly pick out a lot of high-quality specific smallholder coffee. Colombia established the National Coffee Management Association in 1927 to regulate the quality of coffee and to improve the certification of coffee quality and its producing areas, the Colombian coffee trademark, which is composed of Juan Valdez, mule and Columbia Mountain, meets the certification standards, that is, it can be sold as a sign of quality and producing areas.

Vera of Colombia (Colombia huila) is the top boutique in Colombia. Its balance is recognized as the best coffee, belonging to the Colombian State Corporation's selected alpine coffee beans, known as the Colombian national treasure. With its superior geographical and climatic conditions, Colombian coffee has always maintained high quality. Colombian coffee beans, which usually do not have a special market trademark, are from the National Coffee Farmers' Union of Colombia (national federation of colombia coffee growers), a very large alliance that spans Colombia. It has always been famous for its strict quality control and active promotion.

In the Colombian coffee bean grading system, supremo is the highest grade, with the largest and fullest grains in Colombian coffee beans, with very few defective beans and sundries, while excelso is the smaller, more common grade. Colombian coffee has a balanced flavor, rich acidity, unique flavor characteristics, relatively full consistency, sometimes with a touch of red wine and admirable fruit flavor. In Colombia, a small portion of coffee comes from the old Tibica or bourbon, which is generally branded by the name of the manor or the name of the processing factory.
