The Rich History of Colombian Coffee

The history of coffee cultivation in Colombia can be traced back to the Spanish colonial era in the 16th century. There are several accounts about coffee's history in Colombia:

One theory suggests that coffee was introduced via water routes from the Caribbean island of Haiti, passing through Central America's El Salvador.

Another account states that in 1808, a priest first introduced coffee beans to Colombia from the French Antilles via Venezuela. One version suggests that Colombia's first coffee seeds entered through the Santander province from Venezuela.

A third theory points to the earliest record of coffee cultivation in Colombia appearing in a book titled "The Illustrated Orinoca" by Spanish missionary Jose Gumilla. He described his observations from 1730 while ministering along the banks of the Meta River, mentioning local coffee plantations. By 1787, other missionaries had spread coffee to other parts of Colombia.

Located in northwestern South America, Colombia is a beautiful country with a long history. From ancient times, indigenous people have thrived on this land. It became a Spanish colony in 1531 and gained independence in 1819. In 1886, it adopted its current name to honor Christopher Columbus, the discoverer of the American continent. Colombia boasts beautiful mountains, pleasant scenery, delightful climate, spring-like weather year-round, and fresh air. The country is rich in natural resources, with coffee, flowers, gold, and emeralds being celebrated as the "four treasures."

Today, Colombia is the second-largest coffee-producing country after Brazil, the world's largest exporter of Arabica coffee beans, and the world's largest exporter of washed coffee beans. Colombian coffee is often described as having a silky smooth texture. Among all coffees, it offers the best balance, with a soft, smooth mouthfeel that can be enjoyed anytime. It has earned praise unmatched by other coffees: hailed as "green gold."

Santa Rita Estate

Santa Rita Estate is located in Antioquia Province, Colombia, situated in a micro-region neighboring the Andes Mountains. This premium coffee is produced through the collaboration of 9 nearby farms. These 9 farms still use traditional methods to process their coffee: hand-picking coffee cherries, then applying traditional washed processing to the coffee fruit, with the processed beans laid out on racks to sun-dry. The environment surrounding the Andes Mountains provides this coffee-growing region with fertile volcanic soil and uniquely advantaged water resources.
