Colombia has thanks to its geographic position around the equator the advantage to have two crops and therefore fresh coffee all year around. Thanks to its three mountain ranges of the Andes from the north to the south, it creates different climatic and cultural areas, which makes the flavour of the coffee from each department in Colombia unique.
