COLOMBIAN SUPREMO COFFEE Coffee is the universal beverage in the world. It creates good conditioning to the body and helps start the day right. Coffee drinkers have their own preferences for their coffee, some like it brewed while others like instant blends. However those who frequent coffee shops are exposed to numerous kinds of coffee. A famous coffee shop chain would never be complete without having world famous coffees in their lists. Colombian “Supremo” Coffee, a product of the highlands of Narino, southwest province of Colombia, must be in the list.
Colombian Supremo Coffee is grown high at an altitude of 4,000 to 5,500 feet above sea level. It has an extremely rugged landscape, with breathtaking scenic spots, providing the perfect natural environment to grow coffee. These coffee plantations have made Colombia the world’s second best known coffee producer in annual production. Colombian coffee producers pride themselves not only for being the second largest producer of coffee in the world but also for producing excellent Colombian coffee. There are thousands of small family coffee farms across the country who seriously maintain the quality and high standard of the Colombian coffee. Colombian Supremo Coffee contains only the highest grade of coffee beans, carefully selected to maintain its quality. The rugged terrain of Narino, Colombia may have made it hard for farmers to transport their harvest to production areas, but this has not become a major problem for them. Transportation with the use of mules and jeeps has been the answer and up to now this form of transportation is still utilized. Colombia coffee employs the wet process of production. In wet processing, the outer covering of the seeds or beans are first removed and dried with substantial amounts of water. Coffee which undergoes wet processing is regarded to be of higher and better quality. Wet processing ensures that the intrinsic qualities of coffee beans are preserved. Coffee experts would certainly distinguish the region from which the coffee came with distinct flavor and aroma of the beverage. Coffee from Latin America is famous for its great balance and medium body and Colombian “Supremo” is particularly known for its fruity and nutty taste, soft and sweet aroma, mild acidity and good body. It is also uniquely known for its distinct smokiness. Non-coffee lovers would definitely welcome the taste of this nutty and a little whiney but smooth great tasting coffee. |
