History of Fine Coffee Culture Coffee Culture in Colombia

About 100 years ago, Colombian coffee was unknown to the world. The reason is that the superior geographical conditions for producing high-quality coffee have become obstacles in production and commercial activities. Coffee grown in the foothills must be picked manually. So today we can see the image of Wadi on a Colombian coffee bag dressed in traditional Colombian costumes and riding a donkey. In addition, we can also see the most obvious volcanic pattern on the bag, which reminds us that Wadiqin needs to pick coffee on a donkey. because coffee trees are planted on stepped highlands in the foothills of the Andes, with high elevations above 1500 meters, volcanic soil, frost-free climate, and high-quality Arabica bourbon coffee. All these factors make Colombian coffee synonymous with "quality Arabica". As a result, the coffee produced here is directly sold in the world under the name of the country and is invincible.

Colombia is by far the largest exporter of Arabica coffee, with almost no Robst in its territory. At the same time, it is also the largest producer of washed coffee beans in the world, and almost all coffee beans are treated with "expensive" washing.

In 1914, a railway was built to transport coffee beans deep into the mountains of Colombia, but because of the complex terrain in some places, it had to rely on the donkeys of Wadi. In addition, before the opening of the Panama Canal in 1914, Colombian coffee was mainly transported along the port of Madalina to the Atlantic Ocean. With the opening of the Panama Canal, Colombia became the only country in South America that could export coffee beans through Pacific and Atlantic ports, reducing transportation costs.

Since the 1950s, Colombian coffee has become a popular coffee in Europe and the United States, while sales of Brazilian beans, which have occupied the American market for many years, have been declining despite their low prices. This is because Colombian highland coffee has a better flavor and is very popular, so it is easy to get a good price.

The only regret is that in recent years Colombians have begun to replace their traditional Arabica with a new variety of Arabica, which has higher yield and stronger disease resistance than the latter. Although both belong to small-grain coffee, it is absolutely a terrible thing for people who are used to traditional Colombian taste, and it is bound to affect people's preference for Colombian coffee.
