The history of Colombian coffee dates back to 1808. A priest brought coffee to Colombia for the first time from the French Antilles via Venezuela. The suitable climate in Colombia provides a real "natural pasture" for coffee. Since then, coffee trees have taken root in this country. The country has also become the second largest coffee producer after Brazil, the world's largest exporter of Arabica coffee beans and the world's largest exporter of washed coffee beans. Colombian coffee is a representative and excellent variety of Arabica coffee, and it is also a traditional deep-roasted coffee with a strong and memorable taste. Its aroma is rich and thick, with clear high-quality acidity, high balance, sometimes nutty, lingering aftertaste, both in terms of appearance and quality, Colombian coffee is the best. Like a charming and unrestrained woman, just right.

Colombian coffee has a balanced flavor and a smooth taste, just like a gentleman in coffee. He has a wide range of producing areas, such as Medellin, Armenia and Manizales, which are commonly referred to as "MAM".

Colombia's boutique bean producing areas are mainly in the south, more than 1500 meters above sea level, including San Augustin, Huila in Huilan province, Popayan, Cauca in Cauca province, Nari ñ o province, and Tolima province, all of which have delicate sour and raspberry aromas, caramel aromas and full sweetness.

Bourbon species, native to Bourbon Island in the Indian Ocean (now known as Reunion Island), is the second species caused by Typica mutation. It belongs to the oldest existing coffee variety. The green fruit appears bright red when ripe, while the yellow bourbon species is derived from the cross between bourbon species and other varieties. Because of its low yield and relatively intolerant to wind and rain, it has not been widely planted. However, when planted in high altitude areas, it will have excellent flavor performance, which is more common in recent years.

During the processing of this coffee, the peeled fruit is placed in a special fermentation tank without water at all, allowing natural microorganisms and fungi to decompose the sugar and alcohol attached to the solid mucus of the fruit for 24 hours. Special four-stage washing method, 4 times washing process, can achieve complete removal of pulp, and then dry with a machine. Raw bean products are not only stable, but also show more sour and sweet feelings.
