Colombia is the second-largest coffee industry country after Brazil in production. Its better-known origins include "Medellín," "Manizales," "Bogotá," and "Armenia," among others. The coffee beans cultivated there have a fairly rich flavor, and both quality and price are very stable. The internationally renowned high-quality beans are Colombia - Supremo / Colombia - Excelso; their flavor is characterized by strong and intense sourness, bitterness, and sweetness. The brewed coffee has a color like well-aged wine; it has a distinctive sourness and mellow flavor. At medium roast the taste is refreshing, while at dark roast it is mature and rich, and between the two there is a faint, unique flavor. After roasting, the coffee beans have reduced acidity, a fuller body, and a larger and more beautiful appearance. In addition to large production, the Colombian growing regions can produce everything from low-grade to high-grade products, some of which are rare good goods in the world, with a mellow aroma so delightful that one cannot put them down.
