Colombia is the South American hub of coffee, with 100% washed arabica being the country’s main export. Cafe Sofia offers a superb washed coffee, with light caramel flavours and an easy to drink acidity. With a perfect climate, soil quality and elevation, beans thrive in Colombia. It is often down to individual farms and the techniques practiced for certain varieties and flavours to develop.

Colombia is known for being mountainous, which all the best coffee growing countries are. The high elevation slows the growing process, allowing a prolonged maturation to take place.

Colombia is currently the third biggest coffee producer in the world. It is known to be rich yet mild and is extremely popular. This popularity is due to the geography of the country.

The volcanic soil, the elevations of up to 6,000 feet and the hot climate are all contributing factors.

Colombia only grows Arabica beans, which are known to be the higher quality bean over Robusta.

There is a long process from the beans growing in the ground to you sipping the delicious beverage out of your mug. You can read a more in-depth version of production here, but below we have summed it up for you:

The plants flower, turning the coffee intro ‘cherries’ (beans)
Beans are picked twice a year, usually during rainy seasons
The beans are usually soaked, which helps to sperate the different grades
The beans are shipped to those who want green unroasted beans
For those who don’t want unroasted, the green beans are roasted and turn a dark brown colour
They are then ground and brewed and ready to be enjoyed!
