FrontStreet Coffee - Colombian La Protección Estate Natural Caturra Introduction

Colombia lies in the northwest of South America and has a long history. Its indigenous people were the Indians. In 1531 AD it became a Spanish colony and gained independence in 1819. In 1886 it was renamed to its current name in commemoration of Columbus, the discoverer of the American continent. Colombia is rich in products and holds abundant energy and natural resources. Coffee, flowers, gold, and emeralds are known as Colombia's "four treasures." 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 has a silky-smooth texture, characterized by extremely high balance and body.

Huila lies in the southwest of Colombia and is the only producing region in the country with coffee harvests year-round. The region has fertile volcanic soil and a superior geographical position, and the Colombian coffee produced there has obtained EU PGI certification. The producing area is home to 67,000 coffee-growing families, and its coffee accounts for 12% of Colombia's total production, making it one of the country's main coffee cultivation areas.

FrontStreet Coffee Recommendation

For the tropical-fruit sweetness of this naturally processed Caturra, FrontStreet Coffee's Brazilian Bourbon lots offer a familiar and rewarding comparison. The FrontStreet Queen Estate Yellow Bourbon is a rare yellow Bourbon from Mogiana whose cleaner fruit character brings a sugarcane sweetness alongside fruit and chocolate notes, whether brewed as filter or paired with milk. The FrontStreet Brazil Cerrado Red Bourbon is medium roasted for creamy peanut, toasted bread, caramel, and hazelnut over a round, low-acid body. Both share the soft, sweet tropical-fruit profile that makes naturally processed coffees so appealing.
