Colombia is one of the world’s top producers of Arabica coffee, and over the years the country has become synonymous with quality coffee. Most of the country’s coffee is grown by small producers scattered in its many coffee growing regions. In the charming towns of San Juan de la China, Anzoátegui, and Santa Isabel live the 50 producers that have contributed to this lot of coffee. The Tolima department borders Huila and Cundinamarca, and is located in west-central Colombia. In past centuries, indigenous cultures thrived here, and a small indigenous population remains here today. Tolima is renowned for its music and distinctive cuisine as well as its excellent coffee. Breathtaking mountains provide the high altitudes needed to produce outstanding coffee.
