Colombia
Growing Altitude: 1,200 - 2,000 meters above sea level Arabica Variety: Bourbon, Typica, Caturra, Tabi, Colombia, Maragogipe, Castillo Harvest Period: September - December Milling Process: Washed, Sun-dried Aroma: Sweet (caramel), Cocoa Flavor: Sweet (fruity), Citrus, Nutty (slight) Body: Medium Acidity: Bright, Citric Colombia coffee reviews tend to note it as medium-bodied with a rich taste and citrus-like acidity. The best high-grown Colombian coffee typifies the classic Latin American mild, fruity flavor though not the type of fruity taste that seems almost fermented. The high volume of crops grown in the country means that these premium Arabica beans are also some of the most aggressively priced on the market, and serve as a base for many brands' blends. The drawback to how common these beans are is that many people will find them very "mild" as they're used to the flavor.
