Qianjie-brief introduction of Colombian variety and Huilan coffee

Supremo is the most representative coffee in Colombian area. the coffee is soft and mellow, well balanced, sweet in acid, moderate in bitterness and moderate in bitterness. it is used to mix comprehensive coffee.

Colombian coffee is classified according to the size of raw beans (sieve). It is mainly classified into Supremo (sieve 17) and Excelso (sieve 14). Supremo is Colombia's high-quality raw beans. Located in the volcanic type of fertile soil, coupled with abundant rainfall, resulting in excellent growth conditions. The coffee is rich in taste, with drupe and fruit aromas, blended berry acidity, slightly black sugar sweetness and a long, unforgettable finish.

In addition to Kaddura Caturra, Bourbon Bourbon, Tippika Typica and Parkmara, which are common in America, Colombia has its own three disease-resistant varieties, namely Castillo Castillo and Tabi Tabi Colombian Colombia with the same name as the country. Of course, there are also some rare and valuable varieties such as Rosa Gesha, small-grained Mocha Mocca, Rume Sudan Romer Sultan, Eugenioides Eugene Odes, Laurina pointed Bourbon, Maraguesa Mara Rosa (a natural hybrid between Malaggippe and Rosa).

The early varieties planted in Colombia were the old iron pickup and bourbon, which were replaced by Kaddura in 1970; Kaddura is not only more productive per plant than iron pickup and bourbon, but also can be planted more per unit of acreage because the tree is more compact.

Since 1961, CENICAFE began to study Timor varieties of Robusta blood, and then selected Timor and Caturra into Columbia's Katim Catimor series. After five generations of breeding, CENICAFE released Colombia's first disease-resistant variety Colombia in 1982, and then after the emergence of leaf rust in 1983, Colombia varieties began to be planted in large quantities.

Subsequently, CENICAFE continued its research and development, releasing the second disease-resistant variety Tabi (a hybrid of iron pickup, bourbon and Timor) in 2002, and the most functional disease-resistant variety Castillo so far in 2005. After the outbreak of leaf rust in 2008, Colombia began to vigorously promote Castillo cultivation.

In fact, in every country where coffee is grown, there are many coffee producing areas and coffee varieties, and there are famous coffee cultivation areas and coffee estates in the producing areas, so the names of various areas and estates become coffee brand names and circulate. For example, there are famous producing areas in Ethiopia, such as Yegasuefei, Sidamo, Harald and so on. On the other hand, the coffee produced in the Narinho (Na Linglong) producing area of Colombia is named "Columbia Na Linglong" because it is produced by Na Linglong.

Most coffee in Colombia is named after its production. Have you get arrived yet?

Knowledge expansion: in 2012, Colombia launched a coffee reform support loan program for smallholder farmers to grow disease-resistant variety Castillo.
