Coffee the Colombian Way
Discovering the True Flavor of Colombian Coffee
If you're a coffee enthusiast, you've likely tried a cup of Colombian coffee. Often found in coffee shops and grocery stores, it's sometimes bland and just adequate. This is akin to comparing the cuisine of a gourmet restaurant to that of a modest diner. To truly appreciate Colombian coffee, one must look beyond the ordinary.
Like any major coffee producer, Colombia exports a significant amount of average beans. However, if you dig a little deeper, you'll uncover some exquisite treasures.
Unlike Brazil, which predominantly dry-processes its coffee cherries, nearly all Colombian coffee is washed. This process helps remove impurities, resulting in a more flavorful and robust brew. After soaking in cold water for 24 hours, the beans undergo fermentation, enhancing their aroma. They're then washed to remove dirt and unwanted material.
Throughout this meticulous process, defective beans are sorted out. The remaining beans are dried on open-air terraces, frequently rotated to ensure even drying. This yields a smoother, less acidic cup.
Colombia's coffee history dates back to the early 1800s. Today, the country is one of the world’s largest producers, contributing 12% of the global supply. Regions like the central zone, alongside Bogota and Bucaramanga in the eastern mountains, are major contributors.
While much of this output is standard grocery store coffee, the finest Colombian blends rival the best in the world. Bucaramanga beans offer a heavy body, while those from Bogota boast a rich, low-acid profile.
Supremo beans from Narino exemplify Colombia's excellence. Lightly roasted, they make for a perfect late afternoon coffee, delivering a rich flavor without overwhelming acidity and caffeine.
Colombia's 'Triple Seal' organic coffees are gaining popularity. Shaded Santos from eastern Colombia provides a smooth, mellow experience. Opening a bag reveals an inviting, rich aroma.
Even though the actor portraying 'Juan Valdez' in iconic commercials is retiring, the legacy of Colombian coffee endures. Colombian coffee remains amongst the finest options in the world.
