Colombia is located in the northern part of South America. It currently ranks third among the world’s largest coffee producers. Most of Colombia’s coffee farms are in the so-called Coffee Triangle, which consists of the three regions of Risaralda, Caldas, and Quindio. The historic coffee town of Ciudad Bolivar is in the Antioquia region, about a two-hour drive from the large city of Medellin. One of Colombia’s oldest coffee farms, Hacienda La Claudina, is located here. The farmhouse, built in 1893, still stands and is the centerpiece of La Claudina, which has been growing exceptional Colombian highland coffee for more than 100 years. From the main house, you can see the impressive mountain panorama of Los Farallones del Citara, which reaches an elevation of nearly 13,000 feet. The finest highland coffees grow on 16 hectares of farmland at elevations of 1,300–1,870 meters, divided into smaller plots. Most of the Arabica coffee is the Castillo variety, which is particularly resistant to disease. The neighboring rainforest, with its wonderfully moist mountain breezes, the growing altitude, and the fertile volcanic soils give Colombian coffee its full yet mild body and distinctive acidity. Between September and December, around 60 farm workers harvest, sort, and process the coffee beans by hand.
