Producer Information
Antioquia's coffees are known for their medium body, smooth, well-balanced cup, and distinctive cup profiles. They often have notes of milk chocolate, walbut, cocoa, red fruits, and bright citric acidity. Antioquia's coffees are typically not as fruity or winey as those from other regions.
Antioquia's coffee is grown on the slopes of the central and west Andes mountain ranges at altitudes of 1200–1900 masl. The region's strategic location, complex micro-climates, volcanic ash soil, and careful wet milling process contribute to the quality of the coffee. Farms in Antioquia range from small single-producer plots to large scale estates.
Antioquia is Colombia's second largest coffee producing region, with over 97,000 registered coffee growers farming 114,000 hectares. 125 municipalities in Antioquia depend on coffee for their livelihood.
