Columbia Supremo coffee is a term that refers to the size and quality of coffee beans from Colombia, a country in South America that is famous for its coffee production. Colombia is the second-largest producer of coffee in the world and the largest producer of washed Arabica, which is a type of coffee that has a smooth and balanced flavor.

Columbia Supremo coffee beans are larger than the Excelso beans, which are another grade of Colombian coffee. Supremo beans are a screen size of 17 or 18, which means they are 17/64 or 18/64 of an inch in diameter. The size of the beans affects the flavor and aroma of the coffee, as larger beans tend to have more oils and sugars that contribute to the taste.

Colombia’s Growing Regions

Colombia has 32 departments (which are similar to states) and 22 coffee-growing regions. Among the most popular of its growing regions—which we’ve listed here with their capitals) are:

Antioquia (Medellin)
Santander (Bucaramanga)
Tolima (Ibague)
Caldas (Manizales)
Valle del Cauca (Cali)
Nariño (Pasto)
Cauca (Popayán)
Huila (Neiva)

Regions tend to be celebrated for the general taste profiles they produce as a result of their terroir, altitude and other factors. Huila, for example, tends to produce juicy, fruity, complex coffees with lots of body. Antioquia is known for a lighter body, lots of citrus notes and a bright, juicy profile that’s often a preferred morning cup. While coffees from Tolima are celebrated for their bright, citric acidity and those from Santander are often associated with chocolate and tobacco notes.

Single-Region Supremo

Our Colombia Supremo is sourced from a single region—though that region changes based on when the coffee is shipped. What’s consistent every time is the cup profile that each regional blend is designed to meet: balanced and smooth with notes of fruit, chocolate and caramel, a medium body, a bright acidity and a pleasant, clean aftertaste.

If you are interested in trying some of these coffees, you can find them online or in specialty stores.

I hope you enjoy this delicious drink!
