At Spectra Coffee, we bring you the finest Colombian coffee, ethically sourced and roasted to perfection for Canadian coffee enthusiasts.
Coffee-Growing Regions & Processing Methods
Colombia’s unique geography, high-altitude farms (1,200 – 2,200 meters), and fertile volcanic soil contribute to its exceptional coffee quality. Some of the most celebrated coffee regions include:
✔ Huila – Producing coffee with bright acidity, floral aromatics, and tropical fruit notes.
✔ Antioquia – Known for nutty, chocolatey flavors with a full body and smooth finish.
✔ Tolima – Offers a balanced cup with caramel sweetness and citrus undertones.
✔ Nariño – High-elevation farms create complex, sweet coffees with vibrant acidity.
✔ Cauca – Known for its winey notes, medium body, and lingering aftertaste.
Most Colombian coffee is washed (wet-processed), a method that enhances its clean, crisp flavors while preserving the beans’ natural brightness and complexity.
