Antioquia (Antioquia) is the birthplace of Colombian coffee, is also an important coffee producing area, coffee planting area of 128000 hectares, the largest in all producing areas. But this is not just a place of origin. It is the largest coffee grower in any other part of Colombia, with both small producers and large estates. Coffee trees love volcanic soil and a stable climate (the annual average temperature is between 75 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit), while warm valleys warm cold Antioquia at night.
Antioquia's coffee-growing tradition dates back to 180 years ago. Its important geographical diversity produces delicate mild coffee with a touch of sweetness, sweet and well-balanced drinks with herbaceous fruit flavours.
