The bulk of Colombian coffee is of high quality, and the country has done an excellent job marketing its product through the visage of Juan Valdez. Peasants grow the coffee at high altitudes, and it is processed using the wet method. Three mountain ranges, called cordilleras, trisect Colombia from north to south. The central and eastern cordilleras  produce the best coffee. The most famous coffees in the central cordillera are: Medellin, Armenia, and Manizales, named for cities where they are marketed. Medellin is the most famous, and has heavy body, rich flavor and balanced acidity. Roast medium-dark for an outstanding cup that is sure to please!

Columbia is located in the northwestern part of South America and borders on both the Pacific and Atlantic oceans.  Supremo is the highest grade of coffee beans in the Columbia classification system which is based on the size of the coffee bean.  The strong, rich aroma and medium acidity with a balanced, full body, nutty flavor and smooth finish is what makes Juan Valdez so famous for Columbian coffee. This coffee bean will not overwhelm other coffee in blending and it adds strength to less acidic coffee such as the Indonesians.  A medium roast will bring out the robust flavors.  Dark roasts are commonly used for blending in espresso.

Colombia, in South America, has a variety of great coffees.
