Range of Colombian coffee beans
The green coffee beans from Colombia which are grown in warmer, northern and lower altitude zones, such as the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, the Peria, Casanare, Santander and northern Santander mountains, have lower acidity and a denser consistency.
Colombian coffee beans from the more southern areas of Narino, Cauca, Willa and southern Tolima grow at high altitudes, closer to the equator, giving them higher acidity and desired sweetness.
The largest central region around Medellin – Antioquia covers almost 14,000 square kilometers and is known as the Golden Colombian Triangle of coffee growing. Coffee beans from the central region are known for their full body, exquisite taste, and high acidity.
