When it comes to Colombia, most people may feel strange, and coffee lovers may know that Colombian coffee is quite famous. Colombia is the world's largest producer of Arabica coffee beans (Arabica).

Colombia still produces only Arabica coffee, which has rebounded significantly through the development of disease-resistant plants and active treatment and prevention, despite a decline in production due to an outbreak of coffee leaf rust in the early 1910s.

Bean seed: Castillo (Castillo is a coffee variety developed by Columbia Coffee Research Institute in 2005 to enhance plant disease resistance. It is the result of five-generation cross breeding of Timor and caturra. Castillo inherited the dwarf plant and high yield of caturra, as well as the leaf rust resistance gene of Timor.

Knowledge: Arabica coffee is generally thought to be originated from the Ethiopian plateau, widely distributed in the tropics, after repeated mutation and breeding, derived many varieties.
