We are neighbors of Ecuador and for this reason we enjoy very good solar radiation all year round, in addition to the topographic and climatic conditions that make Colombia a privileged country for the cultivation of coffee. As if this were not enough, we can also add the care of our coffee growers that, depending on the region, imprint their own personality characteristics to their coffee plantations.
Therefore, when ordering a coffee from Nariño remember that it is a mountainous region with great abysses where the cold forces the coffee to mature slowly and produce more sugars, which makes the coffee have a greater smoothness, pronounced aroma, medium body, citric notes and exquisite acidity. All this translates into a high altitude coffee, which is its main characteristic.
The crops are practically on the equatorial line and receive perpendicular sunlight during the day, which creates a thermal blanket that is piled over the valleys to cover them during the night and prevent them from being burned by the extreme cold.
On the other hand, the coffee plantations in Tolima are planted in small plateaus, between forests covered by fog where heat and humidity are present. When you drink your coffee in this region you will taste a smooth and balanced beverage that follows the path of sweetness from its aroma to the residual that remains on the palate, as if its fragrance came to you directly from a grinding.
In a region such as Cauca where the high mountains, volcanic soils and the 5 most important rivers of Colombia irrigate the land, the optimal scenario is created to produce a coffee of sensations, smooth, with acidity, fragrance, strong aroma and sweet notes, as if coming from a basket of fruits. In this region the indigenous, Afro-descendant and mestizo coffee growers prepare two harvests: the main harvest between March and June and the secondary harvest between April and May.
