Last Updated: 2024/09/20, Colombia has three Codiera mountains running north and south, right into the Andes. Coffee is grown along the highlands of these mountains. The mountain steps provide a diverse climate, where the whole year is the harvest season, and different kinds of coffee ripen at different times. And fortunately, unlike Brazil, Colombia doesn't have to worry about frost. Colombia has about 2.7 billion coffee plants.

Colombia has three Codiera mountains running north and south, right into the Andes. Coffee is grown along the highlands of these mountains. The mountain steps provide a diverse climate, where the whole year is the harvest season, and different kinds of coffee ripen at different times. And fortunately, unlike Brazil, Colombia doesn't have to worry about frost. Colombia has about 2.7 billion coffee trees, 66 per cent of which are planted in modern plantations and the rest on small traditionally run farms.

One of the most famous producing areas is Nalinglong province. The other real name is Narino, literally translated as "Narinho", and translated as "Na Linglong" by the domestic coffee industry. Na Linglong has a balanced and soft flavor, clean and rich flavors of apricot, grapefruit and toffee, so it is popular with coffee gluttons. And this is because: Colombia is famous for its high altitude, the lower altitude in the north-central part mainly produces commercial beans, and the south-central part mainly produces high-quality beans. The south-central region is also the area for the winners of previous "extraordinary cups" and SCAA "Coffee of the year", and Nalinglong Province is one of them. At the same time, the quality of Colombian coffee beans is divided into more than 200 grades, with SUPERMO as the highest grade, followed by EXCELSO, but only selected coffee with beans No. 18 (diameter 18x64 inches in diameter) can be included in the selection. And Na Linglong is the SUPERMO quality. And this is also closely related to Na Linglong's choice of high-quality Kaddura varieties and high-quality natural conditions.

Nalinglong province is closer to the equator, about one degree north latitude, with plenty of light throughout the year; the elevation is more than 1600 meters, and there are few snow peaks all the year round in the territory. Steep mountains and narrow steep slopes bring a warm and diverse climate. The warm and humid air rising from the canyon protects coffee grown at high altitude from frost, so that coffee can be grown smoothly at an altitude of 2300 meters. Volcanic soil provides rich nutrients for the growth of coffee.

And the annual rainfall in Nalinglong province shows a peak distribution, with a rainy season, which lasts from October of that year to May of the following year, and the dry season lasts for June, July and August. However, even in dry months, coffee farmers will not worry too much, because the warm current caused by trade winds from the southern continent meets with cool nights to produce enough water vapor to replenish coffee trees. Thanks to this, Na Linglong's secret of quality has come to light.

As a result, it is no wonder that Na Linglong won the top six places in the 2010 Columbia COE Competition, with eight places in Top10 and 17 places in Top21. The high quality can be seen from this.

And that's why I only recommend Na Linglong this bean to you. If you choose moderate baking, its rich flavor of apples, apricots, grapefruit, cream and toffee will never let you down.
