Colombia is actually a near-perfect coffee growing climate, and Colombian coffee produces a specific type of bean
that
results from the environment. Colombia gets heavy rainfall and the landscape never gets close to falling below
freezing
temperatures at any time of the year. The tropical location is perfect for growing coffee, and grow it does! There
are
about 600,000 coffee growers in Colombia, and most of them pick the beans by hand.
Colombia tends to produce mostly arabica beans. Arabica and Robusta are the two main types of coffee beans that are
grown in the world. The Arabica is lighter and sweeter, while Robusta is bolder and denser. Colombia grows mostly
Arabica beans, giving its beans the light and flowery taste that many coffee lovers crave. Arabica beans make a
delightful light roast, as the beans are already extremely flavorful and don’t need a heavy roasting process to
bring
out the taste.
