German imports account for 25 per cent of Colombia's total exports, reflecting the country's excellent quality. The coffee grade is divided into top grade (Supremo), excellent grade (Excelso) and top grade (UGQ, Unusual Good Quality). Klauss coffee in the excellent grade is exported to Germany and Europa coffee is exported to Nordic countries. Excellent grade coffee and top coffee can be bought in most coffee shops. The difference between the two professional regulations is that the coffee beans used in top coffee are larger, and the raw materials are taken from newly harvested coffee beans, so it is easier to ensure the quality of the products. Excellent coffee is usually softer and slightly more acidic than top coffee, but both are aromatic coffee with moderate granules and excellent fruit. Colombian coffee is often described as having a silky taste. Of all the coffees, it has the best balance, soft and smooth taste, and can be drunk at any time.

The thorny question facing Colombian coffee growers is whether to replace bourbon coffee with fast-growing and high-yielding Arabica coffee trees. Some people say that the quality will not be as good as it used to be, but others say that in the place where coffee is most suitable for growth, there will not be much difference in quality.

Narino province of Columbia is located in the southwest of the country, facing the Pacific Ocean to the west and Ecuador to the south. The Andes Mountains run through the province. Coffee is grown on a high-altitude cloud belt of 1600 to 2300. The soil is fertile volcanic geology, the bean shape is small but full, and the color is green. Most of the annual output in Nalinglong producing area is acquired by large American bean merchants, which is very popular in the North American market.

◆ Nalinglong producing area is located in the Andes Mountains where southeast Colombia meets Ecuador. Near the equator at 0 ℃ latitude, it receives almost the same number of sunshine hours every day. The stable temperature change and annual rainfall in the morning and evening produce rich soil organic matter, so that the coffee trees in Nalinglong producing area can also thrive in high altitude areas, creating a quite flavor aroma.

Colombia's geographical environment is excellent: low latitudes, high elevations, coffee trees are mostly planted in the Andes, between 1200 and 1900 meters above sea level, and the planting area from south to north, staggered production seasons, coffee production throughout the year, becoming the world's third largest coffee supplier. In particular, Colombian coffee is an Arabica species, with a balanced, long-lasting, bright and mellow taste, is a good coffee that is easy to brew, and is very suitable for small family units, even office workers (lazy people) who drink American coffee machines or mocha pots quickly.

At present, there are two main producing areas in Colombia: commercial coffee producing areas and boutique coffee producing areas. Commercial coffee is distributed in Medillin, Armenia and Manizales in the north-central region, collectively known as MAM. The high-altitude areas in the south are the boutique coffees, such as Huila, San Augustin, Cauca, Tolima and Nari ñ o in St. Augustine.

There is a hidden business trap. How do I know that the coffee beans I bought are commercial coffee? Or boutique coffee?

Colombian coffee beans are graded according to the "size" of raw beans (1 item is 1 stroke 64 inches), so how to judge the size of raw beans? Let's "sift through the net" together! A total of three grades are divided into: Supremo (the highest 17 orders / 18 orders, 17 orders 6.75mm 7mm), Excelso Extra (16 orders / 15 orders), U.G.Q. (Usual Good Quality,14 / 12 orders, belong to commercial beans! See, XD). Therefore, to buy Colombian coffee beans, in addition to visually judging the size of coffee beans, be sure to confirm the "producing areas" of coffee beans again and again to ensure that they are the best coffee in Hong Kong.

One of the most famous producing areas in Colombia is the province of Nalinglong. The other real name is Narino, literally translated as "Narinho", and translated as "Na Linglong" by the domestic coffee industry. Na Linglong has a balanced and soft flavor, clean and rich flavors of apricot, grapefruit and toffee, so it is very popular. And this is because: Colombia is famous for its high altitude, the lower altitude in the north-central part mainly produces commercial beans, and the south-central part mainly produces high-quality beans. The south-central region is also the area for the winners of previous "extraordinary cups" and SCAA "Coffee of the year", and Nalinglong Province is one of them. At the same time, the quality of Colombian coffee beans is divided into more than 200 grades, with SUPERMO as the highest grade, followed by EXCELSO, but only selected coffee with beans No. 18 (diameter 18x64 inches in diameter) can be included in the selection. And Na Linglong is the SUPERMO quality. And this is also closely related to Na Linglong's choice of high-quality Kaddura varieties and high-quality natural conditions.

[hand made Columbia Linglong Coffee]

On the first day, the steaming time was 30sec, and the nutty aroma (macadamia nut) was obvious, but the entrance was a completely new world! First there is a tomato flavor of fruits and vegetables, followed by lemon fruit acid, mellow taste, the first time to drink coffee with fruit and vegetables flavor, very interesting!

On the second day, Brita filtered water was used to maintain 30sec for steaming time. The flavor of imported fruits and vegetables (tomato) decreased, the flavor of fruit acid (lemon) increased, and the taste was more mellow than that of the first day. Cool about 35 °C to taste, the sour taste of lemon is more obvious.

Although Colombian coffee beans are not as unique as the Yega Sheffield region of Ethiopia, the mellow taste is also irresistible, and it is a good choice for mixed beans.
