Colombia has Bolivar, the hero of the independence movement, and Marquis, the giant who wrote the literature of "one hundred years of Solitude," but it is one of the few Latin American countries that have been absent from democratization or left-wing regimes since the 1990s. Politically, it has always been a puppet regime supported by the United States. The only impressions of Colombia in the world are coffee, drug lords, guerrillas and Shakira. Perhaps it is political grief, which is why Colombia has achieved great results in coffee, drugs and music, which is why many people call it a "magical country".

In the last century, Colombia was the second largest coffee producer in the world, after Brazil, until Vietnam overtook Colombia in coffee production in 2000. The centuries-old tradition of coffee cultivation has left Colombia with important cultural assets, with unique coffee landscapes and Spanish colonial-style houses in the foothills of the Midwest of the Andes Mountains. In 2011, it was applied to become the World Heritage site of the United Nations-Colombian Coffee Cultural Landscape. In addition, in order to market Colombian coffee, in 1960 the Colombian Coffee growers Union launched Juan Valdez Images as a spokesman, successfully bringing the image of coffee growers to the consumer market.

Because Colombian coffee beans are rich in production and grow in high mountains, with a mellow taste and rich layers. Therefore, for a long time, coffee industry has used Colombian coffee with good items and large beans to imitate Blue Mountain Coffee, which is called Blue Mountain flavor coffee.

The province of Caldas, Colombia (Caldas), is within the area of the coffee cultural landscape. The cooperative has more than 4000 members, 93 per cent of whom are proprietors, and half of its output is sold on a fair trade basis. The cooperative's Fair Trade Fund is mainly invested in three projects: 1. Provide community health examination and health care. 2 provide training courses to improve the human resources quality of women while encouraging women to serve as department managers. 3. Course on improving agricultural technology and safe use of drugs.

This batch of coffee beans from the Caficultores de Manizales Cooperative is Kaddura, which is washed and planted at a height of about 1200 to 1600m. It is roasted with dark chocolate and malt, with aromas of red fruit and apple.

Colombian coffee beans are well-known in the world, and the high-quality water-washed beans have always been the representative of high-quality coffee. Coffee beans exported from Colombia, after specific gravity inspection and manual picking of defective beans, are bagged after layers of strict inspection, so the quality of Colombian coffee can be guaranteed.

Supremo is the highest grade in the Colombian coffee bean grading system, with the largest and fullest grains in Colombian coffee beans, with very few defective beans and sundries. Supremo is the highest grade of large granule beans screened out by NO.17 mesh.

Aroma and fruit acid are the most important features, toast-like aroma, obvious fruit acid spread after entering the throat, and the final rhyme is accompanied by mellow sweetness and bitterness, which is highly compatible with other coffees, so it is also used to increase aroma and mellowness in high-quality comprehensive coffee.
