Growing Regions
Colombia's Andes Mountains create a patchwork of microclimates, each producing coffees with distinct character.
Huila
Huila is Colombia's most celebrated coffee-growing department. Nestled in the southern Andes, smallholder farmers cultivate Caturra and Castillo varietals on steep volcanic slopes. The combination of rich soil, consistent rainfall, and high altitude produces a remarkably sweet and balanced cup with a silky body and clean finish.

Nariño
Growing at some of the highest altitudes in Colombia, Nariño coffees are known for their vibrant acidity and complex sweetness. The proximity to the equator allows coffee to grow at extreme elevations, where cool nights slow cherry maturation and concentrate sugars. The result is a brilliantly bright, juicy cup.

Why Colombian Coffee Is Special
Colombia's combination of altitude, volcanic soil, and dedicated smallholder farmers makes it one of the most consistent and high-quality origins in the world.
World's Third-Largest Producer
Colombia produces over 12 million bags of coffee annually, making it the third-largest coffee producer in the world and the largest producer of washed Arabica.
Smallholder Farms
Over 500,000 families grow coffee in Colombia, most on farms smaller than 5 hectares. This smallholder model creates incredible lot diversity and community-driven quality.
Year-Round Harvest
Colombia's unique geography near the equator means coffee is harvested nearly year-round. The main harvest (mitaca) runs April to June, with a secondary harvest (principal) from October to December.
Volcanic Soil
The Colombian Andes are rich with volcanic soil, providing the minerals and drainage that coffee trees thrive on. This terroir is a key factor in the sweetness and complexity of Colombian cups.
