For myself, who is keen to go to all kinds of cafes in the world, going to the producing area is a kind of feeling. Beautiful and distant Colombia is not only the main producing area of the world's highest quality coffee, but also the coffee pilgrimage that all coffee people dream of.

Most coffee farms in Colombia are grown on a small scale, with an area of no more than 3 hectares. Colombian farmers are small and sophisticated. All the coffee beans in the manor are carefully cultivated and picked by farmers in order to achieve the effect of excellence and harvest the best quality beans.

The coffee tree first blossomed about three years old. the coffee flowers were white five-petal tube-shaped flowers with a faint scent of jasmine, with dense clusters of flowers that withered after two or three days of blooming. If you have the opportunity to stroll around the coffee manor during the flowering period, you can see a vast sea of white flowers, which is very spectacular!

After a few months of flowering, the coffee fruit will bear fruit. The coffee fruit is a drupe, initially green, then gradually yellow, then red when ripe, very similar to cherries, and can be harvested at this time.

Why are Colombian coffee beans so famous? Because the local coffee is hand-picked and strictly selected to ensure that the coffee beans are of high quality. Coffee beans are also washed, soaked in water can further distinguish the advantages and disadvantages of coffee beans, bad and unripe coffee beans will float on the surface.

30-40% of Colombia's rural population is engaged in coffee-related work. Most of the coffee growing areas are in the Andes in southern Colombia, with simple folkways and warm and friendly locals.

Colombian coffee is often described as silky and smooth. Of all the coffees, it is the most balanced, soft, smooth and ready to drink, and it has won praise that no other coffee can match: known as "green gold".
