Front Street-Columbia Coffee introduction

Colombian coffee plantations are mostly concentrated in the Andes at an altitude of 1300 meters, where the soil is fertile, sunshine is abundant, precipitation is abundant, and all the natural conditions are perfectly right, envious of too many other coffee growers in the world. Maybe God does favor Colombia when it comes to growing and producing coffee.

Vast coffee plantations are scattered in the lush mountains, and the traditional lifestyle of coffee farmers has been passed on intact in the towns around the growing area.

The towns of Salento and Finlandia are hidden in the fairyland-like Valle de Cocora valley, which is dotted with regular coffee trees and estates. Every household in the town whitewashed the house with bright and rich colors, and the low-key and elegant aroma of coffee pervaded the quiet streets of the town.

Colombian coffee beans are small grains of coffee (the intensity of the coffee is inversely proportional to the size of the particles). After washing and medium roasting, the Colombian coffee beans show a tranquil and silky taste: sweet in the acid, medium in bitterness, and just right in the sour, bitter and sweet taste. Coffee cultivation in Colombia is mainly in the form of small farms. There are more than 300,000 coffee farms in the country, with a planting area of 1.07 million hectares. 30 to 40 per cent of the rural population depends directly on coffee production.

Colombian coffee is generally grown at a high altitude of more than 1300 meters in the Andes, and tall trees such as banana trees are mixed in plantations to shield coffee trees from the sun. The coffee grown by the local people is very fine, and the coffee produced is smooth and balanced, with a fresh smell, ranging from average commercial beans to outstanding boutique coffee.

Now, Colombia has famous high-quality producing areas such as Nalinglong, Medellin, Cauca, Huilan and so on. It is said that Starbucks has the exclusive purchasing right to select Nalinglong, so it can be said that the market is very secure.

Because Colombian coffee is generally of high quality and guaranteed quality, the region has adopted a hideously simple grading system, with only two grades-selective Supremo and preferred Extra.

In addition, round beans with a probability of about 5% are singled out, called Peaberry or Peabean. If buyers seek commercial coffee instead of individual items, Colombians will mix selected and preferred beans in a certain proportion, which is called Excelso.

Knowledge: Colombian coffee cultivation dates back to the Spanish colonial era in the 16th century and is one of the country's famous "four treasures" (the other three are gold, emeralds and flowers).
