COLOMBIA Cauca Excelso Gran Galope

Actually, there’s not “something” about Colombia, but many, many somethings that make this place particularly special among coffee-growing countries, and as famous. Everyone knows Colombian coffee—or thinks they do. However, to simply say a coffee is from Colombia is to tell just a fragment of the story, like recommending a book to a friend by only telling her the name of the publisher. To really get to know Colombian coffee is to travel thousands of miles, taste through thousands of cups, and wear out dozens of pairs of hiking boots touring hundreds of coffee farms from north to south. Even that’s just the beginning—but every beautiful story needs a beginning.

Generally speaking, Colombian coffee comprises a wide selection of flavors, farms, and terroirs, that continues to change as new regions are explored. The most impressive quality behind the coffees coming out of Colombia continues to lie in the people producing them - the smallholder farmers that deserve supporting.
