Unique Geography Creates Colombian Coffee

Colombia, with its beautiful mountains and pleasant scenery, has a delightful climate that feels like spring year-round. The air is fresh and invigorating. Colombia's mild climate and humid air create diverse weather conditions that allow for harvesting throughout the year, with different varieties of coffee ripening at different times. They grow unique quality Arabica coffee beans, and coffee made from these beans has a rich flavor with endless aftertaste, making it truly premium coffee. Today, many people equate "Colombian coffee" with "high quality" and "good taste."

Premium Coffee in Colombian Coffee - Arabica Variety

Among Colombian coffee varieties, we must mention "Arabica" (scientific name: Coffee Arabica). Arabica coffee trees typically grow at altitudes between 900-2000 meters; they are relatively cold-resistant and thrive in temperatures between 15-24°C. They require high humidity with annual rainfall of no less than 1500ml, while also demanding higher cultivation techniques and conditions. So now you can understand why the Andes Mountains were used as the background when explaining the coffee growing area markers earlier.
