Colombia is the third highest coffee producer in the world, after Brazil and Vietnam. Together with Indonesia, which ranks fourth, the four countries account for 75% of the world's total coffee production. The rest is mainly produced by Costa Rica, Honduras and Guatemala in Central America. Colombia's most important coffee producing areas are in the three central provinces-Caldas (Caldas), Risaralda (Risaralda) and Quind í o (Quind í o), collectively known as the coffee area (Zona Cafetera), also known as the coffee axis (Eje Cafetero). From Salento, walk west into the beautiful valley.

Colombia is fortunate to have Atlantic and Pacific ports, which helps to reduce the cost of transporting coffee, which is the only country in South America. The main production areas of Colombia are in the central and eastern mountains.

The most important plantations along the central mountains are located in Medellin, Armenia and Manizales, where coffee is of the best quality and high price, characterized by full grains, rich nutrients, rich aromas and moderate acidity. These three regions are referred to as MAM (the initials of the major cities of the three regions). Most of Colombia's top coffee for export comes from MAM. Along the eastern mountains, the two best areas are around Bogot á and north around Bucaramanga. Bogota coffee is less acidic than Medellin coffee, but the two are of the same quality.

Introduction of origin

Whether in terms of yield or texture, Colombian coffee is first produced by Medellin, which is characterized by full grains, rich nutrition, moderate acidity and good balance. In addition to Medellin, the provincial capitals of two neighboring provinces in the south, Armenia and Manizales, are also famous coffee producers, which formerly belonged to the province of Andiquio, where Medellin is located. These three places form the world-famous "coffee zone".

◆ level

Colombian coffee is divided into three grades: Supremo, Excelso, Extra and so on. Take Supremo as the most advanced coffee; the coffee beans used in the top coffee are larger and its raw materials are taken from the newly harvested coffee beans, followed by Extra. Most of the Columbia region have changed to grow faster-growing coffee trees; excellent coffee is usually softer and slightly more acidic than top coffee, but both are aromatic coffee with moderate granules and fine fruit.

Coffee is only suitable for growing in mountains between 1300 and 2000 meters above sea level. There are three main coffee trees grown in the world: Arabica (70 per cent), Robusta (28 per cent) and Liberia (Liberica, 2 per cent), while Colombia only grows Arabica coffee trees. Arabica coffee trees are usually not tall, and the manor has the only taller subspecies, Tabi, which is taller than humans, but only for ornamental purposes. A coffee flower will produce a coffee bean. April-May and October-December are the ripening seasons of coffee beans every year. We went into the coffee bushes to collect coffee beans, only red and yellow coffee beans can be collected, of which yellow is a better coffee bean, if you want to make high-quality coffee, sometimes special collectors will only collect yellow coffee beans. Coffee bean collectors work very hard, collecting one kilogram of coffee beans can only earn 500 pesos (about RMB 1). The more competitive collectors can pick 80-100 kilograms of coffee beans a day.
