Origins.
Colombia.

Colombia’s diverse terroir encompasses several coffee producing regions, each with its distinct microclimate and soil composition. Notable coffee regions include Huila, Nariño, Antioquia, and Cauca. These regions contribute to the wide range of flavors found in Colombian coffees.

Colombia cultivates different coffee varietals, such as Caturra, Castillo, Pink Bourbon, Typica, and Gesha to name a few. Coffee farms are often situated in the ideal altitude range of 1,200 to 1,800 MaSL, which provides coffee cherries with ample time to ripen, leading to well-balanced acidity and notable sweetness in the beans.
