It is often said that "high-quality South American coffee looks like Central America," meaning that Central American coffee is superior to South America, which mainly produces commercial coffee, in terms of beans, soil, and even treatment. But I think Colombia is an exception: on the cup test table, the highest-scoring boutique coffee is generally floral and fruity. The best Colombian coffee will also have a thick taste. Anyone who has experience in roasting will know that it is a mixed coffee of both shades and shades.
Volcanic soil + family management
Colombia is located in the northwest of the South American continent, bordering Central America and Panama. From the aerial view, it looks like it has been scratched by a cat on the west side, leaving three vertical paw marks from north to south. The country's famous producing areas are scattered in these fertile volcanic soil in the Andes (Cordillera).
It is said that coffee was introduced by missionaries from Venezuela in 1730 and was grown in the southeast of the country. Later, due to civil war and political reasons, it gradually moved to the western mountainous areas. In an ideal environment of high height and volcanic soil, Colombian coffee has been respected by high-end consumers in the United States and Japan since the 1940s. In addition to the inherent conditions, there is another main reason why Colombian coffee is better than Brazil: family management. They do not have heavy machinery to harvest and irrigate, nor do they have spare money to hire workers. All coffee fruits are not picked by hand until they are ripe. They cherish the piece of land they live in, from choosing fertilizer to reclamation will be enough, so there is less land fatigue. Apart from coffee, they will also grow other crops to eat or earn extra money. All these help to maintain the ecological environment.
Since 1927, Colombian farmers have organized trade unions (National Federation of Coffee Growers of Colombia) to protect each other's rights and interests. They think that "when customers can tell the difference and are willing to pay extra for it, it is boutique coffee." With a donkey dragged, a hat and a beard printed on a coffee bag from Colombia, this fictional character, a well-known fictional character in America, has been a symbol of coffee in the country since 1981. In addition, there is Parque Nacional del Caf é, an amusement park with coffee as its theme. It can be seen that Colombians are proud of producing quality coffee.
Research and development of disease-resistant soybean seeds
In terms of research, the official agency Cenicafe is responsible for the development of high-yielding and disease-resistant soybean seeds. Rust began to ravage Colombia in 1983, but before that, they had learned from other countries' experience, mixing common Caturra and Timor varieties with the robusta gene and developing Variedad Colombia with disease resistance. After the millennium, Tabi (a hybrid of Typica, Bourbon and Timor) and Castillo (a disease-resistant variety of Caturra) were introduced. Although robusta, which is often used as instant coffee, is not pure, this year's national COE competition runner-up and second runner-up coffee are mixed with Castillo varieties! It can be seen that disease resistance and taste can coexist.
As for the producing areas, famous ones include Huila, Cauca, Narino and Tolima. Among them, Huila has arranged 16 places in the top 20 places in COE this year. However, climate warming has caused temperatures in the mountains to rise, and highlands that have never been affected by the disease before are also gradually affected. Coffee farmers face not only quality, but also production capacity that affects their livelihoods.
