Origin Introduction

Cauca Department, named after the Cauca River, is located in southwestern Colombia. Along with Nariño Department and Huila Department, it is one of Colombia's important regions for specialty coffee production.

Cauca is a certified Colombian coffee origin region with an average altitude of 1,758 meters, reaching up to 2,100 meters at its highest points. The region's topography, precipitation, temperature, and volcanic soil create ideal conditions for coffee cultivation.

The most significant climatic difference between Cauca and other producing regions is likely the relatively large temperature variation. The average daily temperature is 11°C, while the daytime average reaches 18°C. This day-night temperature differential is a crucial factor in producing high-quality coffee. The cooler nighttime temperatures combined with higher altitude slow down the coffee's growth rhythm, allowing coffee seeds and beans to more fully absorb nutrients from the coffee fruit. This also contributes to Cauca coffee's superior acidity and notably remarkable sweetness.

Following Colombia's excellent traditions, Cauca coffee is hand-picked and washed processed. Furthermore, while many coffee-producing regions have been replacing ancient coffee varieties with new ones to pursue better disease resistance and higher yields, Cauca region notably retains predominantly Caturra varieties, along with ancient Typica and Bourbon varieties.

The main flavor characteristics of Cauca coffee prominently manifest in wonderful acidity and beautiful sweetness, combined with Colombia's typical mild mouthfeel, making coffee from this region highly sought after by many buyers. High-quality Cauca coffee typically exhibits rich floral notes, high acidity, pleasant sweetness, medium body, and a clean, mild, balanced flavor profile.
