Colombia is the second largest producer of coffee globally, primarily focusing on washed Arabica varieties, accounting for 12.5 million bag exports, half of which go to the U.S. There are three main varieties grown in Colombia, which are named after the region in which they are cultivated. Colombian coffee is graded by bean size and this particular type is Excelso - screen size 15-16, a size slightly smaller than Supremo. Huila, located in the south of Colombia, has an ideal climate for producing exceptional coffee: volcanic soil, a high elevation, and plentiful rainfall and forest shade. Traditional farming techniques are still used to ensure high quality coffee.
