Colombian Supremo Coffee
Colombian coffee has a protected geographical indication
Let’s take a quick peek into the history of the Colombian coffee culture. The Arabica coffee trees that make the finest gourmet coffee were the gift from the Jesuits to the Colombian hills in the mid 1700s. Originated in Africa, the coffee beans were headed overseas in mid 19th century and by 1860 Colombia became a prime exporter of coffee. Today, Colombia can boast of its 3rd position in coffee exports all over the world. Harvested in the rich highlands of Colombia with an elevation of 1200-1800 meters, thriving on higher altitudes and cool temperatures Colombian coffees form a part of the morning habits of millions of drinkers around the globe.
How the Colombian was destined to be the crowd-puller
What makes the Colombian coffee win hands down is its perfectly blended, well-proportioned taste that seeps through your olfactory senses. One gets the hang of the elixir like steaming liquid served in steamy white cups, a perfect and heady mixture of sweetness, acidity and overpowering, rich aroma.
For the gourmet coffee tasters, Colombian serves the coffee craving with a bunch of medium to light roasted coffee beans showing a sunny acidity and a bright skin. The large Colombian coffee beans, with a screen size of 17 and 18, hint on the heady mix of milk chocolate, lemons and brown sugar. That’s how you get the cinnamon tinted beans.
The organically, shade grown Colombian coffee is distinct from the other coffee varieties in the Arabica family, hardly leaving an aftertaste or a craving for water. If you don’t want to mess with your coffee and simply don’t want the overpowering burnt taste, which you often get from seeping black coffees, Colombian coffee is the right pick for you. The earthly aroma simply grows on the drinkers. That’s what makes it a crowd-pleaser in the real sense.
Imagine the slow maturation process that the beans go through - almost as close to the best vintage wines you can think of; a slowly captivating flavor, never lacking in originality and persona.
