In Tolima province, there are north-south Andes (M. Andes) and Cordillera (M. Cordillera), and between the two famous mountain systems is the Magdalena River (R. Magdalena), which runs from south to north.

The name Tolima comes from the earliest people who lived here, "Pijao people". In the language of this ancient people (Pijao word), tolima means "snow cover" and "snowed". It is not difficult to imagine that this distant land will also be home to high-quality coffee.

Columbia Coffee region: Colombia Volcan de Tolima, Tolima

Tolima, adjacent to huila and cauca, is an area where many coffee-producing pilgrims need to make up their minds to travel. The road conditions here are not very ideal, and some of the talented people who have visited tolima all describe the bumps and hardships on the way to the car shop in their travels.

The farms in Tolima are generally slightly larger than those in other southern Colombian producing areas, ranging from 10 to 15 hectares. The cooperative approach is also popular here, where farmers send their small batches of fresh coffee and fruit to the cooperative's processing plant. Some farmers will also choose to deal with it on their own, making use of their own small-scale treatment facilities that can handle the harvest of the day. Carefully processed raw beans can be negotiated according to the cup test results, and a few batches that are outstanding will be kept as "micro batches", microlot, and sent to Bogota, the capital, for further cup testing. The rest of the raw beans are generally mixed and sold according to the cup test flavor.

Like other Colombian regions, the classic treatment here is water washing, that is, wet treatment. Sun drying
