Colombia produces large quantities of the best
Arabica coffee in the world. Coffee is best when
fresh. So, your question should be, where can I
buy fresh coffee from Colombia? We would like
to present a little background to help you with
finding the greatest coffee at reasonable prices.
The bottom line is that you should buy Arabica
coffee directly from Colombia but why is that?
First, a little bit about Colombian coffee beans.

Colombian coffee history started in the 18th
century when coffee was reported to be
grown near the Meta and Orinoco Rivers.
Commercial production was first reported
in the early 19th century. But, it was the
arrival of coffee growers in the Manizales
region that started the development of a
coffee-growing center that today produces
the most high-quality Arabica coffee in the
world.

Although there are lots of great coffees in the
world, nobody produces the amounts of Arabica
coffee that Colombia does along the Andes
massif. Rich volcanic soil, lots of rain, excellent
drainage (mountain sides), and a coffee-growing
culture that goes back nearly two centuries
come together to produce the largest amounts of
high-quality Arabica coffee in the world.
Colombian coffee beans make great coffee and
the fresher they are, the better they are.

Coffee making can be simple or complicated. The
best end result depends upon having the best
quality coffee (Coffee from Colombia) and the
freshest beans (shipped directly from Colombia
to you). Green coffee beans retain their
freshness for a couple of years when properly
stored (cool and dry). Roasted coffee beans
retain their freshness for up to six months with
the right storage conditions. Ground coffee starts
to lose its freshness as soon as air gets in
contact with the grounds.

The problem with large commercial quantities of Colombian
coffee is that they sit in storage until they are distributed,
sold to the consumer, and made into coffee. If you value
freshness, you want coffee direct from Colombia. This
means that you need to buy from small local roasters
(trilladoras) around Manizales, in towns like Chinchina,
or around Saladoblanco in the Department of Huila. Or
you need to speak Spanish and deal with growers like
the Finca La Paula in Huila. Alternatively, you can

If you are visiting Colombia, you can purchase a few bags
of local coffee at supermarket chains like Exito, la 14, or
La Carulla and carry them back home in your luggage.
Don’t be surprised if the military at the airport in
Manizales, Medellin, Cali, Pereira, or Bogota pin prick
your coffee bags and check them with a mechanical drug
sniffer or pass them in front of a drug-sniffing dog who
you really hope will not sit down (because he recognizes
the smell of drugs). Buy your coffee in a store and don’t
accept “presents” of coffee to take to someone back
home.

local “store” coffee from Manizales, we
