Colombia is one of the world's top coffee exporters, shipping millions of bags of the best coffee beans abroad every year. But why is the world so in love with Colombian coffee?

Colombia is a very productive coffee exporter, second only to the giants of global industry: Brazil and Vietnam. Coffee growers in the country benefit from rich natural resources, including adequate altitude and equatorial climate. Within its territory, Colombia has several interesting microclimates, which make Colombian coffee synonymous with quality around the world.

Colombian coffee culture

In much the same way that visitors to Italy, France and the United States face pizza, wine and apple pie, people who have been to Colombia will find themselves surrounded by coffee beans. Whether it's on refrigerator magnets, roadside monuments or billboards, you can see a lot of coffee elements in this area. And it's easy to understand why-Colombian coffee plants are almost everywhere, so everyone is familiar with their appearance and their contribution to the country.

Tinto

Having said that, one should not think that all coffee enjoyed in Colombia is of extraordinary quality. Many working-class coffee drinkers in Colombia drink a noticeably shoddy coffee called tinto, which is brewed from commodity-grade beans and sold on the street for a few hundred pesos (about 10p) a cup.

So why do Colombians use such a bad product? When there are a lot of good things growing around? The answer lies in government regulation. In order to maintain the international reputation of Colombian coffee, adhere to high standards. Beans that do not pass national standards must be sold somewhere, so they can enter the domestic market at a relatively low cost. This is not to say that Colombians do not like cafes, but that a quick appreciation of good things is just beginning to take root.

One of the reasons Colombia has been so successful in growing the world's most popular coffee is its different elevations, climates and ecosystems. This is why the cultural landscape of coffee is an important part of Colombia's model biodiversity.

Colombian coffee growing area

Colombia's coffee region straddles the coffee-growing areas north of Caldas,Quindio,Risaralda and Valle. But the coffee belt doesn't get all the glory, and the taste of each bean varies depending on where it comes from. The situation in the north of Antioquia (Antioquia), Cundinamaka (Cundinamarca), Boyaca (Boyaca) and Tolima (Tolima) is similar to that of (coffee cultural landscape) and is harvested throughout the year. Coffee grown in warmer, northerly, lower elevations-such as the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta,Perija Mountains, Casanare, Santander and northern Santander-has lower acidity and fuller body. Beans from southerly Narino,Cauca,Huila and southern Tolima grow at higher elevations and closer to the equator, giving them higher acidity and more popular sweetness. You can basically find a bean that suits your taste in Colombia.

There is a famous raw bean competition in Colombia-the Coca Zhuoyu Cup. The [Colombian Coca] bean of Front Street Coffee stands out from this competition. With 90 degrees water to cook, with a good sour plum, the overall sweet and sour feeling is obvious.
