Colombian Coffee: Its Essence
Colombian Coffee is renowned for its vibrant, rich scent as well as its smooth and balanced flavor. What makes Colombian coffee special? The key lies in the special conditions for growth and the meticulous processing methods.
Ideal Conditions for Growing
The diverse landscape of Colombia, including its mountainous regions, rich volcanic soil, and ideal climate, creates the ideal conditions for cultivating coffee. Because of its close proximity to the Equator, the country enjoys a stable climate with ample sunshine and rainfall that is essential for high-quality coffee bean cultivation.
Varietals, Harvesting, and
Colombia primarily grows Arabica coffee, which is known for its superior flavor in comparison to other varieties of coffee. Colombia grows several Arabica varieties that have distinct flavors that vary from fruity floral, to nutty, chocolatey.
The Colombians typically harvest their cherries by hand. This ensures only the finest cherries are harvested. The labor intensive process takes a long time, but it ensures that the beans are of highest quality.
