While coffee beans made their way around the world in the late 1600’s, it’s believed they finally found their way to Colombia some time around 1723 thanks to the Jesuit priests who brought them along. 1835: A lot of the coffee that originates from Colombia is grown on small family-run farms. Many of these farms are smaller than 12 acres. There are roughly half a million families working incredibly hard to bring us these tasty green beans. This is still something that farmers are dealing with today, however very recently steps have been taken to try to fix that. Due to the very manual nature of the labor and adherence to quality, and the changing climate, it may still be tough roads ahead for Colombian coffee growers. 1994 Aromatic Exploration: Elevate your coffee experience with the captivating aroma of Colombian coffee beans.

Versatile Enjoyment: Whether you're seeking a bold morning start or a soothing evening moment, Littles Colombian Coffee adapts to your coffee journey, cup by cup. Carlos Rojas– Executive President of the National Association of Colombian Exporters. Small-Farm Quality Colombia is the world’s 3rd largest producer of coffee right now, and they’re responsible for roughly 12% of global coffee. Things took a turn for the worst in the 1990s, when more than 20% of Colombia’s producers were not making enough profit to cover their costs of production. Production dropped drastically, and many smaller farmers have had to close their farms and have suffered from poverty and famine. By 1930, Colombia was the world’s second largest coffee producer, behind Brazil. Coffee was one of their main exports, and a driving force behind their economy.

There’s no single magic bullet that makes coffee produced in Colombia stand out, which is an interesting parallel to the uniqueness of the farmers who grow it. It’s a combination of many factors working together that creates this perfect storm, much like the many farmers working together to carry on the tradition and to push the economy forward. Thoughts on Roasts: Dark vs. Light We can’t go into the full, complete history of Colombia’s coffee industry, but we do want to highlight some of the key points that help put everything into context. 1723: Imagine the comforting aroma of freshly brewed coffee wafting through the air, inviting you to unwind and savour the moment. Pair it with your favourite biscuits, desserts, or ice cream, and let the magic unfold. In 1958, the iconic Juan Valdez character was introduced into advertisements for Colombian coffee. He represents the farmers who grow the beans. We’ll take a closer look at him in a few moments… 1990s Colombian coffee is made using 100% arabica beans, even though they yield less than robusta. There’s a strong emphasis on quality, due to the way the entire coffee industry is setup in Colombia. A Tradition of Pride

The first contains a coffee-themed park and a variety of exhibits, including an 18 meter high tower made from bamboo, a cemetery of indigenous tribes, a country house in the traditional style, a musical show detailing the history and culture of coffee, and an interactive museum. It’s not practical to pay as much attention to detail on large-scale farms, but as the saying goes, many hands make light work. This certainly isn’t to say that darker Colombian roasts aren’t still unique and worthwhile, it’s just something to think about. A Brief History of Coffee Cultivation in Colombia They support farmer’s rights, research into better growing methods to increase yield, and awareness of 100% Colombia Coffee, as opposed to blends that contain coffee from other countries mixed in with beans from Colombia. 1930: Colombia is an incredible place to grow coffee, full stop. It comes down to things like the weather (both rain and the overall temperature), the elevation, and the differences in soil that are responsible for the unique flavor profiles in each of the main regions. The arabica beans play a big factor too, as does the careful harvesting of each bean.
