No origin matches that.
Arabica only, grown the length of three Andean ranges — and harvested somewhere almost year-round.
Production figures are for the 2025/26 crop year.
Colombia grows Arabica and nothing else, across three cordilleras running the length of the country. That topography is the whole story: altitude, rainfall and latitude change over short distances, so a Nariño coffee and an Antioquia coffee have little in common beyond the species.
It also produces the industry's most useful scheduling quirk. Most of the country takes a main harvest late in the year and a second, smaller one — the *mitaca*, or fly crop — around the middle of it. Between regions, that means fresh Colombian arriving for most of the calendar.
Shaded provinces contain growing areas; the crop covers only part of each.
The largest producing department, and the one most often named on a bag.
Close to the equator and very high, which is an unusual combination.
Northern, historically the heart of the industry.
Central, smallholder-dominated, increasingly sold as single-origin.
The reference profile is balance rather than spectacle: caramel and panela sweetness, clean citric acidity, a medium and syrupy body. Higher, southern lots push further into red fruit and sharper acidity; lower and northern ones sit closer to chocolate and nut.
