Columbia, The Land Of Coffee

Grown in mountains just above the equator, the coffee plant is perfectly suited to the climate of Colombia, in which there are virtually no environmental catastrophes that plague other coffee-growing countries, such as hurricanes, frosts, or volcanic eruptions. The cherries are hand-picked, processed by machine, and exported year-round.

In general, two classifications of Colombian coffee are sold in the United States: Excelso and Supremo. These are size grades which are separated during processing. Supremo being the larger bean. Bean size alone has little to do with the cup quality; however, size grading is part of a series of steps to concentrate the defects (black beans, bean fragments, etc.) into the smallest portion of the production run possible. It is only through the efforts of small farmers and processors who care about the quality of their product, that we are able to buy our fine Colombian coffees.

At Bello Montana Roasters, we offer Colombian Supremo as part of a number of our blends. It is our opinion that a Full City Roast is best suited for Columbian Coffee. The Full City Roast results in a sweet, aromatic cup with medium body, without the dark, smoky taste.
