Abstract

Colombian coffee is famous for its quality and ranked as one of the best in the world. The country has the perfect geographical and climatic conditions for growing coffee – Andean hills, tropical location, high rainfall and a mild climate. Colombia, with its perfect terrain and climate, is one of the only countries that produce 100% arabica coffee, considered to be the best quality bean. As the valley of Medellín offers those conditions there is a long tradition within the local farmers to grow coffee crops. For many years the hillsides of Medellín were abandoned due to the troubled history and the urban conflict throughout the area. Thanks to the social transformation of Medellín during the last decade, today several local small-scale farmers returned to the hills to keep on with the coffee-growing culture.
