Environmental characteristics of Colombian Coffee Plantation Flavor and Taste of Lazimus Manor

The north-central Santander producing area consists of two major geographical areas: the Magdalena Basin and the mountains of the eastern mountains. The Magdalena basin is relatively flat, with a dry and hot climate in the central plain.

The eastern mountains have rugged terrain, steep slopes and an altitude of 4000 meters. The climate is affected by different elevations, which makes it show a variety of meteorological zones, resulting in a rich aroma of coffee and moderate acidity. Smooth and consistent with tobacco flavor.

Huila is located in southern Colombia, one of the well-known specialty coffee producing areas, with an altitude of about 1200 to 2020 meters, a planting area of more than 1.3 million hectares and an average temperature of 17 to 23 °C. Because of its outstanding flavor and aroma, it has become a world-famous special coffee. Medium acidity and moderate mellow, charming sweetness and lemon wine acid, and a balanced and pure aftertaste. Colombian coffee is often chosen by major coffee competitions in recent years. Colombian coffee is located in the Andes, where the climate is mild and humid, and good rainfall makes it very suitable for coffee growth. according to the geographical location, it is divided into three producing areas: the north, the middle and the south. Among them, there are six high quality coffee producing areas in Colombia, Sierra Nevada,Santander, Cauca, Huila,Nari ñ o and Paisaje cultural cafetero.

The northern Sierra Nevada producing area is one of the high quality producing areas in Colombia, and the Santa Marta Snow Mountains is one of the few snowy mountains on the equator, and its caffeine is famous for its distinctive characteristics and high quality standards. The unique climate, abundant precipitation, cloud cover and shade planting make the coffee here full-bodied and nutty, giving people a unique sensory experience not only that, but also won praise in terms of quality that can not be matched by other coffee. Compared with other producing countries, Colombia is more concerned with developing products and promoting production. It is this, coupled with its superior geographical and climatic conditions, that makes Colombian coffee of high quality and delicious, world-famous and authentic Colombian coffee, which makes it more interesting to understand the process of coffee cultivation and production. In the past, because of the high incidence of various social problems, it was difficult for tourists to see pure Colombian coffee plantations for the sake of safety. In recent years, as the government has intensified its crackdown on violent organizations, more and more tourists have been able to see the coffee plantations deep in the mountains and witness the whole process of coffee production.

Colombian coffee plantations are mainly concentrated in the "Coffee Golden Triangle", that is, the triangle formed by Medellin, Armania and Manizarez. The coffee produced here accounts for the largest proportion of the national output and the best quality in Colombia.

I came to the Coffee Golden Triangle one morning. When the plane landed in Armania, the misty hills were green, and the morning light covered the green fields with golden tulle. The pick-up driver didn't wait for me to sit down before he flew to the scheduled farm. Along the way through the small towns and fields, filled with the smell of idleness, no speeding cars, no people on the road, livestock are also leisurely, aimlessly wandering, this is life in rural Colombia.

The driver told me that the "Golden Triangle" is actually a valley separated by the Andes from the Ecuadorian border into Colombia and the east-west branch. There is fertile soil formed after volcanic eruptions, with an average annual temperature of about 18 degrees Celsius and annual rainfall of 2000 to 3000 millimeters, making Colombia one of the few countries in the world that can harvest coffee all year round.

In Colombia, almost all coffee plantations are opened along the highlands of the mountains, and we drove into the mountains for a long time to reach our destination, the Agrado Coffee Farm. John, who received me, was a tall and handsome young man who was in charge of technical and management work here. He told me that the word "coffee" comes from the Greek word "Kaweh", which means "strength and passion". He said that although there is no specific record, it is now widely believed that Africa is the hometown of coffee, and when African slaves are sold to places such as Yemen and the Arabian Peninsula, coffee is taken to various places along the way. The history of coffee cultivation in Colombia can be traced back to the Spanish colonial era in the 16th century: some people say it came from the island of the Caribbean and from El Salvador in Central America; others say that coffee beans were first introduced to Colombia by a priest from the French Antilles via Venezuela.
