Colombia coffee flavor taste introduction Colombia coffee production characteristics

Just as only wine produced in the champagne region of France can be called champagne, only coffee produced in Colombia and picked by hand can be called "Colombian coffee". Colombian coffee is one of the few original coffee sold in the world under the name of the country. In terms of quality, it has won praise unmatched by other coffee.

Today, Colombia is the world's third largest coffee producer and exporter, the world's largest exporter of Arabica coffee beans and the world's largest exporter of washed coffee beans.

The unique geographical environment creates Colombian coffee.

Colombia has beautiful mountains and rivers, beautiful scenery, pleasant climate, spring all year round, fresh air and refreshing air. Colombia's mild climate, humid air, and diverse climate make it a harvest season all year round, with different kinds of coffee ripening at different times. What they grow is Arabica coffee beans of unique quality, and the coffee made from this coffee bean has a rich taste and endless aftertaste, which can be called fine coffee. Nowadays, many people equate "Colombian coffee" with "high quality" and "good taste". The world coffee is divided into two series: one is the "hard" coffee represented by Brazil, which has a strong flavor; the other is the "soft" coffee represented by Colombia, which has a light flavor. The difference lies in the altitude of the producing area and the method of planting. Coffee is planted extensively in hilly red soil in Brazil and intensive cultivation in mountain black soil in Colombia.

Colombian coffee is divided into more than 200 grades, which means that the coffee is very regional. The country's coffee-producing areas are located in the Andes, where the climate is mild and the air is humid. 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. There are about 700 million coffee trees in Colombia, 66% of which are planted in modern plantations and the rest on small traditionally run farms.

The pure taste of Colombian coffee, in addition to the natural environment with the most favorable conditions for coffee growth, is inseparable from the hard work of local growers. In Colombia, coffee cultivation has reached 1.07 million hectares, there are about 302000 coffee plantations in the country, and 30 to 40 per cent of the rural population depends directly on coffee production. Although there are many farms in Colombia, they are not large in area. The area of each farm is only about 2 hectares, and more than 80% of the coffee plantations have only about 5000 coffee trees, an average of 3000. Thus it can be seen that agriculture in Colombia belongs to the small-scale farm type. The locals plant tall trees or banana trees around the coffee trees. Build an Arbor for coffee trees at the seedling stage to ensure the cool and humid environment needed for coffee growth. Due to the high humidity, small temperature difference and slow ripening of coffee beans in the coffee forest, which is conducive to the accumulation of caffeine and aromatic substances, the quality of coffee is the best.
