The three Codiera mountains in Colombia run north and south, extending into the Andes. Local coffee farmers grow coffee along the highlands of these mountains, with diverse climatic production conditions; and because of changes in topography and altitude, a large part of Colombia's coffee industry is produced by small farmers. 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, in which the Supremo grade of more than 17 mesh is the largest, and the next grade is mainly EXCELSO EXTRA of 16 mesh.

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, with dozens of small farmers providing their unit harvest into a micro-batch to sell, and because of this, they have more opportunities to measure by batch-by-batch 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.
