Colombia

Colombia grows arabic washed between 1,200 and 2,000 m on average. Its mountains allow two crops a year: the main one, from September to January, and the smaller one, from March to June. That's why there's fresh coffee from Colombia at almost any time.

The classic profile is nice: candy, red fruit, citrus and chocolate, with good balance. But every region has its character.

• Huila (1,000-2,200 m): one of the best known regions, cradle of the Pink Bourbon.
• Nariño: cafes that reach 2,300 m.
• Cauca, Antioquia, Tolima and Santander complete the map.

The most planted variety is Castillo, created by Cenicafé to resist the roya. In Huila, the Pink Bourbon has also emerged, one of the most sought after varieties in recent years.

It's a very versatile origin. It works in filter, espresso and moka. If you doubt, start with a city in V60 or in drip coffee maker: it's hard to make a mistake.
