Famous representative coffee: Colombia

Colombia is the world's second largest exporter of coffee, accounting for about 15% of global production. Most of its coffee trees are grown in three mountains stretching north and south, with only Arabica species.

Although its output ranking is lower than that of Brazil, the coffee beans are of good quality, rich and unique aroma, sweet in acidity and moderate bitterness, which is very suitable for single drink or mixture. Colombian beans and Brazilian beans are the best choice of basic beans for blended coffee, but their flavor is more mellow and more fragrant than Brazilian beans. In addition to individual taste, they are also often used to blend coffee to increase the sweetness of coffee and to blend the bitterness of other coffee.

Central Colombia is divided into valleys by three north-south longitudinal mountains, of which the central and eastern mountains are the main coffee producing areas. The coffee here is named after a distributed market, with Medellin, Armenia and Manizales in the Central Mountains and Bogota and Bucaramanga in the eastern mountains.

The best Colombian beans, similar to Costa rica or Hawaiian Cona beans, are non-extreme coffee, rich in texture, but not as strong as Sumatra; rich in aroma, but not as good as the best Jamaican alpine flavor; sour, but not as sour as Antigua acid. It often has a caramel-like taste, similar to the aroma of pudding, lack of sour fruit, reminiscent of milk pancakes; it is also suitable for blending mixed coffee. Since the 1970s, with the full promotion of the Colombian government, many old trees have been replaced by new species with high yields, but critics believe that the new coffee is milder and more common than the old ones, and its quality is much lower than it used to be.
