FrontStreet Coffee - Introduction to Colombian Coffee

Colombian coffee is one of the few varieties that can be sold directly under the country's name. In terms of coffee quality, Colombian coffee has received unparalleled praise that other coffees cannot match.

Colombian coffee can be divided into more than 200 grades, which means that the coffee growing regions have strong regional characteristics. The country's coffee production areas are mainly located in the famous Andes Mountains, where the climate is mild and the air is humid. Colombia has three Cordillera mountain ranges running north-south, extending directly into the Andes. Colombia grows coffee along the highlands of these mountain ranges. The mountains provide diverse climates, and here it is almost harvest season all year round, with different types of coffee maturing successively at different times. Fortunately, unlike Brazil and other countries, Colombian coffee does not have to worry about frost damage. Colombia has approximately 700 million documented coffee trees, of which 66% are planted in modern plantations using modern cultivation methods, while the rest are grown in traditionally managed small farms.

Colombian coffee - originating from Colombia, releases a sweet aroma after roasting and has excellent characteristics of sweetness within acidity and balanced bitterness. Due to its appropriate concentration, it is often used in premium coffee blends. The main cultivated varieties are Caturra, Catuai, and Bourbon.

Colombian coffee offers a clear bitterness experience, where clarity and astringency resemble life itself, yet bitterness is essential in life. The lingering aftertaste at the root of the tongue becomes a thorough reflection of the past. Bitterness is pain, clarity brings tranquility, and the aftertaste becomes a spiritual victory.

Colombians' persistent pursuit of coffee quality can only be described with one word: serious. Beyond serious, still serious. A widely circulated example of this is that although Colombians could replace Bourbon coffee trees with fast-growing, high-yield Arabica coffee trees; they have no intention of making hasty moves before confirming the quality of coffee beans from Arabica trees. They would willingly hand over their second-place world coffee production ranking to Vietnam, which only grows Robusta coffee.

Colombian coffee is one of the most representative premium varieties in coffee, a traditionally deep-roasted coffee with a rich and memorable flavor. Colombian coffee has a rich and thick aroma, with bright quality acidity, high balance, sometimes with nutty flavors, and an endless aftertaste. Whether in appearance or quality, Colombian coffee is particularly excellent.

Knowledge Point

Compared to other producing countries, Colombia is more concerned with product development and production promotion. It is this point, combined with its superior geographical and climatic conditions, that makes Colombian coffee high-quality, delicious, and renowned worldwide.
