Green Bean Coffee: Americas - Columbia
Columbia
Coffee was introduced to Colombia in the early 1800s. Today, Bourbon, Typica, Caturra, and Maragogype coffee varietals are cultivated.
There are two main regions of coffee production in Colombia: Medillín, Armenia, and Manizales (MAM) in the central region and Bogotá and Bucaramanga in the eastern mountainous region. MAM coffees are known for their heavy body, rich flavor, and fine acidity. Bogotá is less acidic than Medillín, but retains the richness and brightness. Bucaramanga is milder, often heavier bodied, and rich in flavour reminiscent of Sumatran coffees.
