Regional Information

Colombia is the second-largest producer of coffee in the world and the largest producer of washed and Arabica coffees. Colombia only produces washed Arabica coffee. 

There are three primary varieties grown in Colombia, and the coffee is referred to by the region in which it is grown.

“Excelso” is a grading term for exportable coffee from Colombia, not related to variety or cupping profile.

EP (European Preparation) specifies that the raw beans are all hand sorted to remove any defective beans and foreign material.

Excelso coffee beans are large, but slightly smaller than Supremo coffee beans. Excelso beans are a screen size of 15-16, versus Supremo beans, which are sized on screen 17.

Colombian coffee is graded before shipment according to bean size. Supremo and Excelso coffee beans can be harvested from the same tree, but they are sorted by size. Excelso accounts for the greatest volume of coffee exported from Colombia.

The Sierra Nevada in Colombia is not only an impressive mountain range but also a significant region for coffee cultivation. The terraced slopes of the mountains provide ideal conditions for growing high-quality Arabica coffee, thanks to the mild climate, fertile soils, and optimal altitude. However, what truly makes this region unique is its close connection to indigenous culture. The communities living there consider the mountains sacred and practice coffee cultivation not only as an economic activity but also as a spiritual practice in harmony with nature. Coffee from the Sierra Nevada is known for its full-bodied flavor, balanced acidity, and rich aroma, reflecting not only the quality of Colombian coffee but also the rich cultural tradition and spiritual connection of this unique region.
