Colombian coffee is predominantly made from Arabica beans, which are known for their superior quality and nuanced flavors. The most common Arabica varieties grown in Colombia include Typica, Bourbon, and Caturra.
Colombian coffee became internationally recognized in the 20th century, thanks in part to marketing efforts led by the Colombian Coffee Federation (Federación Nacional de Cafeteros de Colombia). The creation of the iconic fictional coffee farmer, Juan Valdez, and his mule, Conchita, helped to promote Colombian coffee as a symbol of quality and tradition.
In recent years, Colombian coffee producers have increasingly focused on producing specialty coffee, which emphasizes high-quality beans and sustainable farming practices. Many Colombian coffee farmers are implementing organic farming methods, shade-grown techniques, and fair trade practices to preserve the environment and improve the livelihoods of coffee-growing communities. 🇨🇴
