Crop Comments

Colombia is the second largest exporter of coffee in the world. All coffee grown is of the Arabic species, and mostly all is grown at high elevation and wet processed. Supremo is the country's highest grade. Colombia coffee has a well-earned reputation as having fine body, pleasant acidity and clean flavor. Each region brings a little something different to the final product.
