Avenue Coffee - Finca El Tambo (Colombia)

A smooth and sweet coffee with notes of dark chocolate, orange and raisin.

Production in Colombian is very much dominated by small holders that band together into co-operatives and growers associations. This means the
vast majority of coffee in Colombia comes in big lots that contains coffee from many growers. This is further complicated by the fact that the majority of coffee is processed on the farm by the producers.

The size and complexity of the Colombian coffee industry makes it one of the most exciting and undiscovered origins in the world today. The potential is unfathomably large, with many producing areas extremely remote making them difficult to work with. This complexity is where our green bean buyer – Falcon – thrives and Colombia is a particular focus for them.Colombia is a coffee heavyweight producing around 11 million bags per year. This volume places it third globally behind Vietnam and Brazil in total production. For this reason Colombia is often intimately associated with coffee by consumers. Colombia’s coffee production is extremely unique in that it has no easily definable harvest season.

The two mountain ranges that run north to south across the length of the country are used as the defining boarders between regions. This physical division creates individual microclimates that drastically impact the seasons of the coffee trees and result in an origin that is harvesting 365 days
a year.
