Colombia Castillo Washed

COUNTRY: Colombia
It is no wonder that when people think of Colombia, they also think about coffee. Coffee history in this country can be traced back to the late 1700’s, with the first commercial production recorded in 1808. Yet when coffee was first introduced, leaders were met with resistance due to the length of time it took to produce the initial crop. In 2011, UNESCO declared the coffee cultural landscape of Colombia a World Heritage site. Today, Colombia is one of the largest coffee producing nations in the world, and is associated with growing mild and well-balanced coffee beans.
