Why we love it

When I first started, Colombia was one of the first coffees I tried, and it's buttery aroma and sweetness won me over.

Aromas del Sur

The harvest starts in October and peak harvest takes place in November. Members harvest and mill their coffee, which involves selective hand picking of the ripe cherries, fermenting the coffee and drying it to approximately 11% moisture content.

Most producers mill and dry the coffee at their own farms before transferring it to the Aromas Del Sur warehouse. The warehouse itself functions as a storage place for parchment coffee and also has a well-equipped cupping lab for quality control.

Each lot is cupped when it arrives to guarantee consistent quality. Aromas del Sur even has its own “Universidad del Café” (Coffee University) where knowledge is shared on agricultural practices, commercial strategy and of course, ensuring excellent quality.

Colombian Coffee

Colombia has been producing and exporting coffees renowned for their full body and bright acidity since the early 19th century. Thanks to its wide range of coffee growing regions, microclimates, and altitudes, Colombia is harvesting throughout the year.

Colombia boasts a wide range of microclimates and geographical conditions that produce the unique flavours so loved in Colombian coffees. While there are many sub-regions and progressively smaller geographical designations—all the way down to individual farms—broadly speaking, coffees in Colombia can be separated into three major regions whose climate, soils and altitudes affect tastes.
