About Colombia

 It's a mountainous region, with altitudes between 1,200 and 1,900 meters above sea level, a temperate and rainy climate with volcanic soils. The coffee culture is deeply rooted, with traditional and modern practices. Flavour profiles: balanced, notes of cocoa, nuts, and fruit. The region has a strong social component with rural communities and cooperatives that maintain ancestral traditions in coffee growing and processing.

In this region, the altitude and volcanic soils give the coffee a slower maturation, which is why the beans concentrate sweetness and develop cleaner, more complex profiles. Many farms here still combine shade-grown systems with traditional practices passed down through generations, while also adopting new methods to protect water sources and improve consistency. What really stands out is the link between families, cooperatives, and their land—coffee here is not only a crop, it’s part of the cultural fabric, and that sense of identity is reflected in every cup.

Located at high altitudes, over 1,600 meters above sea level. With cold climate, with diverse microclimates and volcanic soils. The cup profiles you can find are floral, citrus, round bodied, with high acidity and many fruity notes. Coffee culture in Nariño is very strong, it's what the producers harvest the most.

Coffee in Nariño is deeply tied to the geography and the way of life of its people. The region’s rugged mountains make farming a challenge, so most producers work on very small plots, often less than a hectare, where coffee is the main source of income. Because of this, communities have built strong networks of cooperatives that share knowledge, infrastructure, and access to markets. Seasonal harvests are celebrated almost like local festivals, with families and neighbors coming together to pick and process the cherries. This collective spirit has shaped a coffee culture where identity and pride are as important as quality, turning Nariño into an emblematic origin that represents resilience and heritage in every cup.

Similar altitudes to Nariño, in areas with varied microclimates. Aromatic profile, floral and fruity notes, with production on small farms that maintain traditional and sustainable practices.

Most of the coffee is grown on small family farms, where traditional knowledge blends with sustainable practices such as shade-grown systems and careful water management. Beyond flavor, Cauca is known for the strength of its producer organizations, which provide training, promote quality standards, and help smallholders gain visibility in specialty markets. This combination of environment, culture, and organization has positioned Cauca as one of Colombia’s most consistent and distinctive coffee origins.

This region is located in the northern part of Colombia and features diverse microclimates due to its proximity to both the Caribbean Sea and high mountainous terrain. Altitudes range from 900 to 1,700 meters above sea level. The soil here is rich and fertile, contributing to a unique coffee profile characterized by sweet, fruity notes and balanced acidity. The coffee culture is influenced by indigenous communities that practice traditional and sustainable farming methods.

What makes Sierra Nevada remarkable is the way coffee is woven into the identity of its indigenous communities, such as the Arhuaco, Kogi, and Wiwa peoples. Their farming follows ancestral principles of harmony with nature, often integrating coffee with other crops in diversified systems that protect biodiversity. The region’s isolation from large urban centers has preserved not only its ecosystems but also its cultural traditions, giving its coffees a strong sense of origin and authenticity. Many producers here prioritize organic and shade-grown practices, which contribute to the clean, transparent profiles recognized in specialty markets. Beyond the cup, Sierra Nevada coffees carry a narrative of heritage, stewardship, and respect for the land that few other regions can match.

Situated in the southwest of Colombia, Huila is now the leading coffee-producing region in the country. This area boasts a diverse range of microclimates and altitudes between 1,200 and 1,800 meters above sea level. The volcanic soil and favorable climate conditions result in a complex flavor profile, with pronounced acidity and fruity, floral notes. Coffee growers in Huila are known for their commitment to quality and innovation, often working in smallholder farms and cooperatives.

Huila’s reputation goes beyond its cup quality—it has become a benchmark for how Colombian coffee connects local culture, innovation, and international recognition. The region has produced multiple winners of the Cup of Excellence, a reflection of the dedication to experimentation with fermentation techniques, microlots, and precise post-harvest practices. Unlike some other coffee areas, Huila’s production is spread across a wide network of smallholder farmers rather than a few large estates, which makes traceability and unique lot separation a cornerstone of its identity. The Magdalena River, which cuts through the region, plays a key role in shaping the climate and providing vital resources for farming communities. Alongside its agricultural importance, Huila has also developed a strong educational ecosystem, with local institutions and producer associations investing in training programs that empower new generations of growers to raise both quality and sustainability standards.
