Front Street-Colombia Huilan Coffee Introduction

Colombia spans the northern and southern hemispheres. Coffee producing areas in the country are mostly located between 2 and 8 degrees north latitude. Coffee producing areas are concentrated in the "three rivers and two rivers" area, that is, the Andes Mountains (Cordillera Mountains) in Colombia. The origin of rivers in Colombia almost comes from the Andes Mountains. Most of the good coffee producing areas have high poster height (BOGOTA poster of Colombia capital 2600-3000 meters), fertile soil (Nevado del huila of Cymbiana volcano, Nevado del Galers of Jarela volcano) valley (Andes Mountains), rainforest, plateau crisscross, abundant precipitation (warm and humid air flow from Pacific Ocean), and various micro-terrain climate formed by tall Andes Mountains. These natural conditions make Colombia conducive to coffee cultivation, both high yield and high quality.

Colombia is the only country in South America with both Pacific and Caribbean coasts. In Colombia, almost all the best producing areas are volcanic soils. When it comes to volcanoes, we have to mention the two highest quality coffee producing areas in Colombia, HUILA and NARINO in the south. These two provinces have two famous volcanoes in Colombia, Nevado del huila in HUILA province and Nevado del Galers in NARINO province.

Volcanic ash is rich in minerals, which can make the soil more fertile. Volcano Huilan has been erupting continuously in recent years, which is a happy thing for coffee farmers in Huilan Province. In 2009 and 2010, Huilan Province can produce "SCAA Best Coffee Bean of the Year", to a certain extent, thanks to the new supplement of volcanic ash to the soil.

NARINO coffee production accounts for about 3%-5% of the country, harvested once a year; HUILA coffee production accounts for about 10%-20% of the country, Cymbidium production area has huge output, but also high-quality production area, SCAA champion beans mentioned above mostly come from this production area, because Colombia Cymbidium coffee beans enjoy very high popularity and favorable rating in international trade.

Huilan coffee is the origin coffee named after the coffee growing area, which can fully represent the unique characteristics of Huila coffee producing area. The most outstanding characteristics are pure, balanced and soft taste, and has a very high aroma

As one of several coffee-growing regions in Colombia, Huila is probably the most famous in the country. Huila, like many other parts of Colombia, was severely affected by the riots that plagued Colombia from the 1990s to the early 2000s.

In 2010, the Government of Colombia launched a support programme for peasants displaced by the violence. Its central objective is to ensure that land is returned to its rightful owners and to provide them with the resources to restart agricultural production.

In some cases, this also means that coffee growers have acquired the resources to switch from commercial-grade coffee production to specialty coffee production, thereby obtaining considerably higher market prices. According to the Colombia Coffee Growers Federation (FNC), Vera produced 2.6 million 60-kilogram bags of green coffee beans in 2016, accounting for 18 percent of the country's coffee production.
