Introduced in Colombia at the beginning of the 19th century, coffee is grown in the regions that make up the central, eastern and western cordillera. Its designation of origin “Colombian Coffee” is used all over the world. However, this is not due to this promotional effort alone, but can also be explained by the intrinsic qualities of the product.

It is good and constant due to the standardization set up by the Coffee Federation of Colombia, which for decades remained the only authorized exporter. For about fifteen years, a liberalization has occurred without calling into question the qualitative aspect but by exposing production more to the vagaries of the market.
