Santa Rita Estate is located in Antioquia Province, Colombia, situated in a micro-production region adjacent to 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 subjecting the coffee fruit to traditional washed processing, after which the processed coffee beans are spread on racks to sun-dry. The environment surrounding the Andes Mountains provides this coffee-growing region with fertile volcanic soil and unique water resources.

Colombia's Coffee History

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 from the Caribbean island of Haiti, arriving via water routes through El Salvador in Central America.

Another theory 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 notes that the earliest record of coffee cultivation in Colombia appears in Spanish missionary Jose Gumilla's book "The Illustrated Orinoca." He described his experiences while preaching along both banks of the Meta River in 1730, mentioning local coffee plantations. By 1787, other missionaries had spread coffee to other parts of Colombia.

Colombia: The Land of Coffee

Located in northwestern South America, Colombia is a beautiful country with a long history. From ancient times, indigenous peoples have lived and 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 features beautiful mountains and rivers, pleasant scenery, a comfortable climate, spring-like weather year-round, and fresh air. Colombia is rich in natural resources, with coffee, flowers, gold, and emeralds being celebrated as the "four treasures."

Today, the country is the second-largest coffee producer 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 has the best balance, with a soft, smooth mouthfeel that can be enjoyed anytime. It has received praise unattainable by other coffees: it is hailed as "green gold."
