Front Street-Columbia Coffee introduction

The suitable climate in Colombia provides a real garden of Eden for coffee. Coffee trees in Colombia are mainly cultivated on steep slopes of about 1300 meters above sea level in the Andes, latitude 1 °- 11 °15 N and longitude 72 °- 78 °W, where the annual average temperature is about 18 ℃, annual rainfall is 2000 to 3000 mm, and the specific range of elevation can exceed 2000 meters. The natural combination of these characteristics, the Colombian Coffee growers Association scientifically guides coffee growers to plant, pick and treat. Created high-quality Colombian coffee.

We all know that the two main categories of coffee, Arabica (Arabica) and Robusta (Robusta), like two races of different faiths, have always been incompatible with each other. The varieties of Colombian coffee are mainly small-grain coffee in Arabica, such as Caturra (Kaddura), Bourbon (Bourbon), Catuai (Kaduai), typica (iron pickup) and Columbia (Colombia). Other varieties are also grown in a small number of areas.

The plants of these Colombian coffee are usually small trees, and the plant height is often trimmed to more than one person's height, making it easy for manual picking. Coffee flowers bloom season, Cymes several clusters in leaf axils, each inflorescence has 2-5 flowers, no total pedicel or with a very short total pedicel; coffee flowers are fragrant, very much like jasmine or gardenia, normal varieties of coffee fruit oval, peel is red. After variation under specific conditions, a few varieties produce yellow fruit, and then after seed screening, they become some branch varieties separately. Such as Yellow Bourbon (yellow bourbon), Pink Bourbon (pink bourbon) and so on.

It is worth mentioning that the Columbia breed here is actually the Catimo (Katim) rejected by many people in the coffee industry. Because of its high yield and strong disease resistance, it has gradually become the main force of Colombian coffee in recent years.

Many people who first know coffee in the accident often put too much emphasis on the variety of coffee, which is actually unscientific. The flavor of a cup of coffee is based on the coffee bean itself. The coffee bean itself is not the only element of the variety, its growth environment and treatment will also affect the taste of the coffee into the cup.

Colombian coffee is often described as having a silky taste. Of all the coffees, it has the best balance, soft and smooth taste, and has a unique sour and mellow taste. The sour, bitter and sweet flavors of Colombian premium coffee match just right.
