Front Street-Colombia Coffee Introduction

Colombia fine coffee has great potential

In the past, Colombia paid more attention to the commercial coffee bean market, but after 2001, Colombia began to enter the relatively niche fine coffee market, much slower than Brazil and Guatemala, both of which belong to Central and South America, mainly because Colombia was not optimistic about the fine coffee market at that time and did not catch up until after 2000! However, even if one step slower than others, the environment of Colombia is very suitable for the growth of fine coffee. It is not only rich in landform, but also low in latitude and high in altitude. Compared with Brazil, it has great explosive power in fine coffee!

Colombia coffee-producing region

Fine coffee beans are produced mainly in the south, reaching about 1500 meters above the sea, and there are many volcanoes, creating a number of well-known fine production areas, including Cauca (Cauca), Vera (Huila), Meta (Meta), Tolima (Tolima), Nari Linglong (Nari). o) Wait, the main flavor is caramel aroma, with delicate berry aroma and sour aroma, and sweet obviously! Cauca department belongs to the production area certified by Colombia coffee origin. It is located in the southwest of Colombia, adjacent to Narrino Department and Huila Department. It is also an important production area of Colombia fine coffee.

Cauca is 80% mountainous, with an average altitude of about 1800 meters and a maximum of 2100 meters. There are parallel mountain ranges in the east and middle, which are part of the Andes. The central mountain range consists of two major volcanoes (Sotara and Petacas), bordered by the Huila Mountains, which are covered with snow all year round. The Cauca coffee region is surrounded by high mountains, which block not only the air flow and moisture from the Pacific Ocean but also the trade winds from the south. In addition, its proximity to the equator maintains a stable and humid climate and sufficient sunshine all year round. The region's unique topography, climate, rainfall and highly nutritious pozzolanic soil provide a unique and unique environment for the growth of high-quality coffee.

Relatively large temperature difference between day and night, the annual average temperature difference is about 11℃, while the daytime average temperature is about 18℃. The temperature difference between day and night is an important factor in the composition of high-quality coffee. The relatively low temperature at night and the high altitude slow down the growth rhythm of coffee, so that coffee seeds and coffee beans can fully absorb the nutrients of coffee fruits, thus creating better acidity and special sweetness for coffee.

Coffee from the Cauca region is hand-picked and washed to ensure the high quality of its green beans. High-quality coffee usually presents rich floral, high acidity, pleasant sweetness, moderate alcohol and pure mild taste, mainly reflecting a series of special flavors such as berries, caramel, dark chocolate, grapefruit, etc., sweet aftertaste, long aftertaste.

Knowledge expansion: Just as only wine produced in the Champagne region of France can be called Champagne, only coffee produced locally in Colombia and picked purely by hand can be called "Colombia Coffee," which has the same quality and taste as coffee from other regions.
