Facts
Colombia is the second largest producer of coffee in the world and the largest producer of washed and Arabica coffee. There are three primary varieties grown in Colombia and the coffee is referred to by the region in which it is grown. Colombia is proficient in producing an abundance of truly delicious and sought after coffee.
This coffee comes from the small town of Pitalito, which lies in southern Huila in the Valley of Laboyos. This southern area of Colombia is at the foot of the Andes mountains. This massive mountain range is the birthplace of the Magdalena River, which travels north all the way to the Caribbean coast.
The valley itself lies at about 1,300 meters above sea level. All the surrounding mountains grow coffee with the average farm having about 6 hectares and about 5,000 trees per hectare. The soil is volcanic, providing lots of organic nutrients for this high altitude coffee.
