Colombia is a land of extremes. With vast rainforests, sprawling savannas, huge mountains and 2,900 kilometers of coastline on two oceans, this equatorial country is one of the more biologically diverse places on Earth. Colombia's incredible variety of microclimates also enables it to produce a significant volume of premium washed Arabica every month of the year. On the incredibly steep mountainsides in Nariño — one of three regions our team focuses on, along with Santander and Southwest Antioquia — handpicking ripe cherry has been likened to an extreme sport.
