Coffee trees planted along the steep slopes of the Andes are arranged neatly along the steep slopes of Risaralda province in west-central Colombia. When thousands of coffee beans ripen and turn red, it is also the harvest time for local coffee farmers to pick them by hand. As the coffee farm here is located on a steep hillside, it cannot be harvested by machine.

Colombia's unique geographical conditions make it one of the most famous coffee producing areas in the world. However, in recent years, natural disasters caused by climate change, such as heavy rain and drought, have posed a threat to local coffee production capacity.

Most farmers sell coffee beans to the Colombian National Coffee Association, a non-profit organization founded in 1927. It uses pricing linked to the New York Stock Exchange to estimate Costa Rica's coffee exports. Since prices fluctuate from day to day, it is difficult to calculate the actual gains or losses of individual farmers, but most small farmers in the country are only in a break-even situation.

Colombian boutique coffee is mostly from the southern region, of which Haoshan Haoshan in Huila is the best-known boutique area, which has won the Cup Test Championship of the American Fine Coffee Association many times in recent years. The boutique coffee varieties produced by Vera are mainly Kaddura and Tibica, and the taste spectrum has obvious sour and sweet fruit taste, which is suitable for all kinds of roasting degree. Vera's boutique coffee is the winner of the international cup test, and local coffee farmers think it should have something to do with the frequent volcanic activity near the Vera producing area and the release of fertile volcanic ash.
