Colombia

Colombia Excelso coffee is an excellent Arabica coffee from the Cauca region. The coffee benefits from shady cultivation, is grown on volcanic soil, is sun-dried, hand-picked and is grown between 1320 and 1820 meters.

Colombia is one of the world's largest coffee producers, and the largest producer of washed coffee. Colombia is very proud of the number of different varieties available in its regions.

These coffees exceed the standards set by Colombia's National Federation of Coffee Growers (FNC). They undergo a minimum of three different quality controls. During each inspection, moisture, bean defects, bean size and cup size are checked. The coffee is first checked at the mill entrance, then a second check is carried out in a laboratory in Popayán, and finally, a final check is carried out by FNC representatives at the port before shipment.
