Biodiversity in Colombia is mind-blowing; in fact, it’s the second most diverse country in the world. Colombia’s biological richness in each region lends itself to the wide variety of coffee being produced and the result blooms in the complexity found in each cup. A notable volume of the world’s Arabica coffee is harvested and exported every month, and while Colombia is known for some of the finest washed coffees on Earth, new processing methods are being explored as producers develop their understanding of biochemistry in the beans. A lot of the wet milling in Colombia is done at the farm level and procurement is mostly done in dry parchment. This means that traceability can be narrowed down to the specific producing farm, instead of in community lots, which helps identify distinct cup profiles.
