This lot of Colombia Excelso EP comes from small family-owned farms in the Colombian “coffee triangle.” Also known as the Coffee Zone or Coffee Belt – it consists of three Colombian departments: Caldas, Risaralda and Quindio. This region, spreading across the eastern and central Cordilleras (“mountain ranges”), is famous for producing the majority of Colombian coffee, often considered the best in the world. The main harvest is between October and January, and the “mitaca” harvest is between April and June. Small coffee producers pick and process their coffee at their own micro-wet mills and then dry their own coffee, typically on elevated tables inside solar dryers that provide protection from the rain.
