The Best Climate for an Ideal Coffee

Colombia's geography and climate is perfect for growing coffee due to the elevations and the mountainous places it has.

Colombia, as a country with a diversity of environments and landscapes, is currently a source of life for harvesters to take advantage. Not all products adapt to this diversity, but there’s one that favors it like no other does: coffee. But how does the coffee plant adapt to the conditions of the Colombian lands? Here you’ll see how and why coffee and Colombia work so well together.

The main feature of Colombia’s climate is that it has a tropical climate, meaning that the weather stays constant throughout the year. The only two characteristic seasons in the country are the dry and rainy, often called “summer” and “winter” by the Colombians. These two seasons are of great benefit for the production of coffee.

Normally, altitudes from 1800-3600 feet with 16-24°C are the standard for an ideal coffee in countries like Mexico, Jamaica, and Zimbabwe. On the other hand, Arabica coffee beans in Colombia have different conditions for cultivation, with altitudes between the 4000 and 6000 ft above sea level and temperatures of 17-23°C.

Precipitations and dry seasons need to be well defined as a way to ensure the harvesting of fresh coffee. Each region in Colombia has its particular conditions regarding temperature, solar radiation, and water supply. This means that certain locations have different seasons and periods for harvest through the year.

Perhaps you haven’t heard of the coffee belt (commonly known as “zona cafetera”), but this is the center where the majority of the coffee growing takes place. This zone is considered to be the Cultural Coffee Landscape, a place where you can find the heart of the coffee production.

As you can see, Colombia really stands out not only in culture, but climate and landscapes that favor the harvesting of fine coffee. Are you interested in the best coffee for your brand?
