Introduction to Columbia Coffee Coffee in Qianjie

Colombia is the world's third largest exporter of coffee, mainly producing Arabica coffee and the largest exporter of Arabica beans.

In 1808, a priest introduced coffee to Colombia for the first time from the French Antilles via Venezuela. Today, the country is the second largest coffee producer after Brazil, the world's largest exporter of Arabica coffee beans and the world's largest exporter of washed coffee beans.

Cauca province, Cauca department, the name comes from the Cauca River, Cauca River. Located in southwestern Colombia, it is an important producing area of Colombian boutique coffee together with Narino Department and Huila Department.

Cauca province is a certified coffee producing area in Colombia, with an average elevation of 1758m and a maximum elevation of 2100m. The topography, precipitation, temperature and volcanic soil of the area prepare suitable conditions for the growth of coffee. 80% is mountainous, with parallel mountain systems in the east and middle, part of the Andes, and the central mountain system includes two major volcanoes, Sotara and Petacas. The border province of Cauca, like other southwestern producing areas, has a distinct unimodal distribution (monomodal). The dry season mainly occurs from August to September each year, followed by a concentrated coffee season followed by the following year's concentrated coffee harvest season.

The biggest difference in climate between Cauca and other producing areas is probably the relatively large temperature difference, with a daily average temperature of 11 ℃ and a daytime average temperature of 18 ℃. The temperature difference between day and night is an important factor in quality coffee. Low night temperatures and relatively higher elevations slow down the growth of coffee, allowing coffee seeds and beans to more fully absorb the nutrients of coffee fruits, as well as better acidity and commendable special sweetness of Coca Coffee.
