Coffee beans are an excellent companion gift in Colombia. the coffee industry, which is endorsed by the government, allows tourists to taste the best coffee beans in South America, delve into the exquisite coffee culture, and of course buy a few bags of cheap coffee beans to go home. In big cities and towns in Colombia, we often see many office workers or students hurrying down the street with a cup of coffee in one hand, but the trademark of the cup of coffee in hand is not the green Starbucks we are used to, but the red logo of Juan Valdez Cafe written on the local brand.

■ without trader exploits coffee beans with good quality and low price.

Mario, marketing manager of the Columbia Coffee Farmers' Association (Federacion Nacional de Cafeteros de Colombia, referred to as FNC), said: "Juan Valdez currently has more than 500 stores around the world, except Colombia, which can be seen in many cities in South America. In addition, it has already entered New York and Europe, and has become an excellent spokesman for Colombian coffee. "

Unlike many chain coffee chains, which are exploited by plate merchants from the producing area to the consumer end, the Columbia Coffee Farmers Association, established in 1927, supplies the coffee beans from the origin directly to the consumer side in order to protect the interests of coffee farmers, so that consumers can drink good coffee at a low price, so the shareholders of Juan Valdez are more than 20, 000 coffee farmers.

Since 1940, the National Coffee Foundation has been dedicated to protecting Colombian coffee and stabilizing the market price of coffee beans. Mario pointed out that Brazil is the country with the largest coffee production in South America, but Colombia has the highest output value of coffee beans, and local coffee beans are usually medium-and high-priced brands in the global coffee market.

■ Cafe is elegant and tastes good.

The climate of the Andes, the soil with volcanic ash and multiple minerals, coupled with the protection and promotion of the government, create good coffee in Colombia. In Juan Valdez, you can drink a cappuccino for about NT $60. Apart from the coffee, the cafe itself is elegant, with comfortable sofas, beautiful music, wireless Internet, and sit as long as you like.

In some old urban areas, Juan Valdez is also located in historic buildings, allowing people to drink coffee in Spanish-style courtyards. In the city, Juan Valdez often works with art groups, and there are open spaces where you can drink coffee while watching shows and pass on the good life in Colombia through cafes.
