A brief introduction to the Market Price of Colombian Coffee from Global Coffee producing area

The thorny question facing Colombian coffee growers is whether to replace bourbon coffee trees with fast-growing and high-yielding Arabica coffee trees. Some people say that the quality will not be as good as it used to be, but others say that in the place where coffee is most suitable for growth, there will not be much difference in quality.

The characteristics of Colombian coffee:

Coffee grades are divided into Supremo, Excelso and UGQ,UnusualGoodQuality. Klauss coffee in the excellent grade is exported to Germany and Europa coffee is exported to Nordic countries. Excellent grade coffee and top coffee can be bought in most coffee shops. The difference between the two professional regulations is that the coffee beans used in top coffee are larger, and the raw materials are taken from newly harvested coffee beans, so it is easier to ensure the quality of the products. Excellent coffee is usually softer and slightly more acidic than top coffee, but both are aromatic coffee with moderate granules and excellent fruit. Colombian coffee is often described as having a silky taste. Of all the coffees, it has the best balance. It tastes soft, smooth and ready to drink.

Flavor: nutritious, highly balanced, sometimes nutty

Suggested baking method: moderate to deep baking, suitable for various uses

★★★: excellent

Colombian coffee market:

Colombia established the National Coffee Management Association (FederacionNacionaldeCafeteros, or FNC) in 1927, which is responsible for quality supervision. Although the association is a private company, it acts on behalf of the government. The National Coffee Management Association is also responsible for health care, education, road construction, hiring planting technicians, conducting investigations, monitoring product quality, directly handling 50 per cent of total exports, and employing marketing personnel. Like Kenya's National Coffee Management Association, it is a model of coffee organization.

Colombian coffee farmers can sell all their products to the Coffee Management Association at an official low price, or to exporters, who may offer a higher price or no bid at all. In fact, the Coffee Management Association (FNC) controls exports to Europe, while coffee to the United States is mainly exported through private exporters. However, all exports are subject to the lowest export price. Colombia is fortunate to have Atlantic and Pacific ports, which helps to reduce the cost of transporting coffee, which is the only country in South America.

Three Colombian micro-batch beans: Cymbidium peach plum valley, Cymbidium Mercedes Manor, Golden Dior Mountains.

Ikila City, where Taoli Valley Manor is located, has more than 300 years of history and culture, and the vast and sparsely populated natural environment has created favorable conditions for coffee cultivation. Ikila is located in Huilan province near Cauca province, so it combines a variety of high-quality characteristics of coffee from the two original areas. It not only has the notes of sweet flowers and fruits in Cauca producing area, but also has the finish of mellow grape sour red wine in Huilan producing area. The collision of the soil of the two high-quality producing areas gives this "Peach and Plum Valley" manor coffee with medium and high mellow and acidity, clean texture accompanied by rich and lasting sweetness of brown sugar, balanced and soft taste as smooth as silk, as if swimming between the peach and plum valleys.

As one of the most famous high-quality producing areas in Colombia, the name Huilan has long been familiar, but coffee growers here are not reconciled to the past, and are constantly exploring and growing better and more distinctive micro-batch coffee every year.

In the city of Acevedo in Huilan Province, in the producing area of the manor owner Mercedes Narvaes (Mercedes Narvaez), a micro-batch of Cymbidium coffee with rich sweetness and pure and balanced taste was produced. While the medium to high acidity and medium mellow, with dark chocolate, Hawthorn and vanilla flavor and aroma, the latter part retains the green apple aftertaste, but also sets off the silky and flawless taste of Cymbidium coffee to the extreme. Use traditional ancient methods to plant and resist diseases, promote and use the ecological concept of sustainable development to manage and control coffee producing areas, and pass 4C certificate certification. We have to lament the Colombian growers' unique methods and techniques for the treatment and cultivation of coffee.

With regard to Colombian coffee, the first thing that comes to mind is the coffee golden triangle, which is collectively called the coffee triangle by the provinces of Caldas, Quind í o and Risaralda. It produces the best coffee in the world and is the source of the mellow aroma of Colombian coffee.

Quind í o-Cordillera is located in the central part of Colombia, between the West Cottrella Mountains and the Central Cottrela Mountains in the Andes. The vast expanse here, the great Antioquia (Antioquia) with their modesty, diligence and continuous progress, work in the mountains to create the treasure here-Quind í o coffee. Overlapping mountains are not only a challenge to them, but also a protective barrier. They are the founders of coffee culture, and their belief in inheriting ancient methods has made their culture popular in the triangle and even around the world.

The high-altitude planting environment and suitable climatic conditions make the coffee in Quind í o region exude a strong aroma of fresh red fruit, while the inheritance of ancient methods is not only the precipitation of time, but also brews the fragrance of red wine. Medium high acidity and medium mellow, such a balanced taste with endless aftertaste, only the deposition of time can make it so natural.

The development and prosperity of the coffee triangle area has also led to the tourism of the coffee plantation. The local beauty attracts many tourists to come and feel the enthusiasm and friendship of the local people. This is the charm of the coffee culture, and the unique magic here also makes tourists linger.

Coffee was first introduced to Colombia in 1808 when it was brought by a priest from the French Antilles via Venezuela. Today the country is the second largest producer after Brazil.

Coffee producing areas in Colombia:

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. The country is the world's largest exporter of Arabica coffee beans, while Robbins coffee is rarely grown. It is also the world's largest exporter of washed coffee beans (Washedbeans). 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 excellent in quality and delicious and famous all over the world.

The country's coffee-producing areas are located in the foothills of the Andes, where the climate is mild and the air is humid. Colombia has three Cordilleras mountains (sub-mountain system) running north and south, right into the Andes. Coffee is grown along the highlands of these mountains. The mountain steps provide a diverse climate, which means that the whole year is the harvest season, with different kinds of coffee ripening at different times. There are about 2.7 billion coffee trees in Colombia, 66 per cent of which are planted in modern plantations and the rest on small, traditionally run farms.

The main production areas of Colombia are in the central and eastern mountains. The most important plantations along the central mountains are located in Medellin, Armenia and Manizales, where coffee is of the best quality and high price, characterized by full grains, rich nutrients, rich aromas and moderate acidity. Taken together, the three regions are referred to as MAM (the initials of the major cities in the three regions). Most of Colombia's top coffee for export comes from MAM. Along the eastern mountains, the two best areas are around Bogota and then north around Bucaramanga. Bogota coffee is less acidic than Medellin coffee, but the two are of the same quality.
