Brief introduction of Colombian Coca Coffee Flavor in Qianjie

The province of Cauca Department, named after the Cauca River River, is located in southwestern Colombia and is an important producer of fine coffee in Colombia along 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.

The Cauca producing area is surrounded by high mountains, which block the airflow and water vapor from the Pacific Ocean and trade winds from the south, thus maintaining a stable climate. Near the equator, there is plenty of sunshine. The stable climate and sufficient sunshine provide a guarantee for the stability of coffee quality.

Cauca's dry season mainly occurs from August to September, followed by a concentrated coffee blossom 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. The daily average temperature is 11 ℃, while the daytime average temperature is 18 ℃ and the night average temperature is 4 ℃. The temperature difference between day and night is an important factor in quality coffee. The low temperature at night and the relatively higher altitude slow down the growth of coffee, making coffee seeds and beans more fully absorb the nutrients of coffee fruits, as well as the better acidity and commendable special sweetness of Coca Coffee.

Picking by hand is one of the key links to achieve high quality coffee.

Following the fine tradition of Colombia, Coca Coffee is picked manually and washed. In addition, in order to pursue good disease resistance and higher yield, many coffee producing areas have updated the old varieties of coffee to new varieties, most of the rare species in Cauca are Caturra, in addition, there are Typica and Bourbon ancient species.

The main taste features of Coca Coffee are reflected in its wonderful acidity and beautiful sweetness, coupled with the typical mild taste of Colombia, which makes the coffee in the area a competitive target for many buyers. High-quality Coca Coffee usually shows rich floral aroma, round acidity, pleasant sweetness, medium mellow, pure, mild and well-balanced taste.
