Front Street-Columbia Coffee introduction

Coffee farmers around the world are committed to producing high-quality coffee beans, and cup testing enables them to connect with raw bean buyers who pay attention to the quality of coffee beans, resulting in better income while avoiding price exploitation by merchants. In recent years, Fair Trade Coffee Cooperatives have won many awards in international cup test scores (such as Aldea Global in Nicaragua, Cecovasa in Peru, YCFCU in Ethiopia). In the past three years, a total of 28 Fairtrade certified coffee products have won the British Great Taste Awards award known as the "catering industry Oscar".

Colombia is located in the northwest of the South American continent, bordering Central America and Panama. The west side of it is like being scratched by a cat; from north to south, it leaves three vertical paw marks. The country's famous producing areas are scattered in these fertile volcanic soil in the Andes (Cordillera).

It is said that coffee was introduced by missionaries from Venezuela in 1730 and was grown in the southeast of the country. Later, due to civil war and political reasons, it gradually moved to the western mountainous areas. In an ideal environment of high height and volcanic soil, Colombian coffee has been respected by high-end consumers in the United States and Japan since the 1940s. In addition to the inherent conditions, there is another main reason why Colombian coffee is better than Brazil: family management. They do not have heavy machinery to harvest and irrigate, nor do they have spare money to hire workers. All coffee fruits are not picked by hand until they are ripe. They cherish the piece of land they live in, from choosing fertilizer to reclamation will be enough, so there is less land fatigue. Apart from coffee, they will also grow other crops to eat or earn extra money. All these help to maintain the ecological environment.

Huil in southwestern Colombia is the producer of fine coffee and Narino. Almost all of the top 10 Colombian coffee competitions in the Tolima region come from these three regions, and they are also dominated by small coffee farmers with small yields and small farming areas. La Esperanza Manor is located in the Huil producing area. The coffee farm, which does not belong to individuals or families, is a collection of several coffee farmers to sell under the name of Hope Manor (La Esperanza). It is hoped that the manor will be distributed in the forest at an altitude of 1400 to 1650 meters above sea level to harvest fully mature coffee beans by hand. Coffee farmers adhere to good planting environment and perseverance to control the quality of coffee beans. The winner of the 2007 Colombian coffee competition, it also won 9th, 12th and 14th (different coffee growers) in 2008 by American coffee master Kenneth in November 2008. Davids (author of coffee review and Coffee Home Bakery) scored 93 and is the top estate in Colombia.

There is a famous raw bean competition in Colombia-the Coca Zhuoyue Cup. The [Colombian Coca] bean of Front Street Coffee stands out from this competition. With 90 degrees water to cook, with a good sour plum, the overall sweet and sour feeling is obvious.
