Brief introduction of Columbia Whelan Coffee in Qianjie

Huila is an area of southern Columbia. The mild climate, fertile volcanic soil and moderate rainfall allow coffee to grow up to 1900 meters above sea level. The area is mostly small farmers, and the area of coffee trees planted is no more than 7 acres. Huila is not as commercial as Medellin, Armenia, Manzinales, and uses so many chemicals to deal with planting problems.

In Huila,SI, farmers are advised to adopt biological control methods to control diseases and insect pests and to maintain the cultivation of the old species of typica, as well as to continue the tradition of cultivation.

Because Huila is located in the south of the country, the location is relatively remote, and the hometown of the Costa Rican guerrillas FARC is in Huila, so many traders are afraid of the road! Only in recent years have people dared to go deep into this area to explore good beans.

Founded in 1927, the Colombian National Coffee producers Association (FNC) is a non-profit organization serving Colombian coffee farmers and the only official coffee professional guild in Colombia. FNC's main responsibilities also include promoting the brand image of Colombian coffee around the world and supervising the quality of each grain of coffee exported from Colombia.

The orchid area belongs to the mountain terrain, and coffee is grown on the slopes of the canyon, so it has a high altitude and suitable temperature for growing high-quality Arabica beans. The climate of the canyon slope not only prevents the cold wind from blowing in, but also keeps the mountain breeze cool without high temperature, and Rain Water is also relatively abundant, which can be said to be a unique place for coffee cultivation.

In addition, Colombian coffee workers go up the mountain to pick coffee beans (also known as coffee cherries) by hand, so they can pick carefully and pick the most mature and full fruits. And the vast majority of coffee beans are water-washed, moderately roasted with a light, silky and sometimes sour taste, not as strong as Brazilian coffee and Italian Espresso, known as "green gold" in Colombia.

The coffee in Huilan area has a strong taste and heavy texture. In particular, the coffee in Huilan area can be called high-quality coffee with the aroma of nuts, chocolate and caramel and suitable acidity.
