Narino Coffee Beans: The Papal Chalice of Coffee

Narino coffee beans enjoy a reputation as the "Papal Chalice" (Puerto Rico also uses this prestigious title), and the professional coffee chain Starbucks also claims to have exclusive distribution rights to "superior" coffee beans from Narino.

Flavor and Aroma

When old trees are removed, traditional Arabica cultivation varieties are gradually being replaced by other more productive varieties, such as the cost-effective "variedad Colombia." This Arabica lineage was developed and cultivated in Colombia but is also grown in other countries, which alarms many professional cuppers who find that the flavor of these new varieties is disappointingly inferior, especially when compared to Bourbon beans, which combine flavor, aroma, body, and the beautiful golden color presentation when milk or creamer is added.

Colombia has one advantage over other South American countries: it can export through either of its two ocean coasts.

Origin Introduction

Colombia is geographically located in the western part of South America, connecting with Venezuela, Brazil, Panama, Ecuador, and Peru. It is the only South American country that borders both the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. The Andes Mountains dominate from south to north, with western coastal plains and other mountainous regions comprising most of the area where agricultural crops and coffee are primarily cultivated.

Colombia is a major producer and exporter of premium coffee, ranking among the top three globally. The coffee production regions within Colombia are extensive, with the most renowned coffee-producing areas including Popayán, Cauca; San Agustin, Huila; Medellín, Antioquia; Narino; Bucaramanga, Santander; Armenia, Quindío; Magdalena; Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta; and the Manizales region. Colombia's past volcanic activity has created fertile soil ideal for coffee cultivation.

Colombia's three mountain ranges, part of the Andes running from north to south, provide optimal conditions for growing Arabica coffee at elevations from 700 to 2,000 meters. The central mountain range is primarily coffee-growing territory, particularly around Medellín, Manizales in the central region, and Armenia in the west. Libano in the central producing region is also an excellent source of Supremo coffee. The Popayán region and San Agustin are highly favored in the world coffee market, as is Narino coffee from the border region near Ecuador, which enjoys reverence akin to the Vatican's Holy Grail. Narino coffee offers a gentle, soft texture with abundant aroma, representing the most admirable quality coffee. Additionally, there are two excellent low-acidity coffees: Bogotá and Bucaramanga from the eastern producing region. Among these, Narino coffee from Colombia possesses the most perfect and captivating characteristics.

As the world's third-largest coffee-producing country, Colombia has long focused on commercial-grade beans, but in recent years, with the expansion of specialty coffee trends, high-grade varieties have gradually opened up the market. This coffee from the Narino province in southwestern Colombia offers a pleasant mild acidity, solid and full-bodied flavor, and a sweet plum-like aftertaste. Compared to other premium Ethiopian Yirgacheffe coffees, Narino coffee beans are absolutely superior.

Good coffee not only meets your needs for mental stimulation and vitality but also brings additional satisfaction and pleasure. This is a highly recommended selection of premium coffee beans.
