About coffee from Colombia
Colombia is one of the world's largest arabica producers, and many regions get two harvests a year. High-altitude areas like Huila and Nariño are known for sweet, balanced coffees with caramel and fruit, and Colombian producers are behind many of today's experimental fermentations.
What the process means
In a washed process, the fruit is removed from the bean before it dries. Washed coffees tend to taste clean and bright, and show off the character of the origin.
