About the region

Colombia Cristobal comes to us from the department of Quindio – this is one of the traditional coffee departments of Colombia, which is located in the east of the country. Many mountain slopes combined with soil saturated with sedimentary and volcanic rocks make coffee from Kindio brighter and more balanced. The beautiful landscapes where local coffee grows are included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Coffee is grown at an altitude of 1650-1800 meters above sea level. 70% is a type of typica, 30% is a katurra. Coffee is harvested in April — July and in October — December. After depulpation, the grains in the parchment shell are sent for fermentation for 14-18 hours, after which they are washed with water. Drying is carried out on the patio.

About the country of growth

Colombia is the world's third largest producer of coffee and the world's second largest producer of Arabica grown on the slopes of the Andes. The main regions are Armenia, Medellin, Tolima, Caldas, Kindia, Cauca, Popayan, Narinho, Huila, Antioquia. The climate in the lowland areas is humid tropical, in the mountains at an altitude of more than 1200 meters above sea level, the daytime temperature varies from 18 to 24 °C. The rainy season lasts from April to July and from October to November. The soils are rich in minerals, volcanic. The uniqueness of the climate lies in the fact that coffee trees do not require artificial dimming. Clouds appear almost every day after lunch, forming a natural shadow, which allows coffee beans to fully develop. And if you also take into account the heights of the mountains on the slopes of which coffee is grown, the mountainous landscape, fertile soil, sufficient rainfall, and the traditionally high culture of coffee cultivation in the region, then you can evaluate the result in a cup.

Packing, grinding and storage of coffee

Packing options: 250 grams, 1 kilogram and in drip bags. We can grind coffee for any brewing method, just check the Grind checkbox and select the grind size for your brewing method.

Thanks to packing in a nitrogen environment, coffee retains its bouquet unchanged for up to 6 months in a closed pack. After opening, store the coffee beans in a dry place without direct sunlight and grind immediately before cooking. It is best in our zip-fastener pack or in a jar with a vacuum function. Remember: oxygen is the main enemy of coffee, especially if it is ground in advance. If you are going away for a long time, coffee can be frozen once in the freezer.
