Lets look at these wonderful coffees that the world has to offer, shall we. These are exciting times in the coffee business. Knowing that the coffees restaurants serve to their patriots can now be as delightful as the meal its self. The bed and breakfast industry serving coffee that compliments the morning delicacies they serve their guests.The average joe like myself you just dang it, wanted a decent cup of coffee.
Impossible at one time it was and in some places it still is.
Lets start looking at some these fine coffees. The first coffee growing country I would like to visit is Colombia. Let me say this when dealing with any produce there is always the farmer who does what it takes to get the very best out of his harvest. This is what I am looking for the very best, and believe me the great coffees are being grown you just have to trust us enough to purchase them. When we give the farmers a fair price for their harvest it lets them know to keep doing what they are doing and that is producing the best of the best. Ok after saying that lets look at Colombian Coffees. Colombia produces abot 12% of the worlds coffees.Freshly roasted Colombian coffee beans are rich in flavor, heavy bodied, has a bright acidity, and is intensely aromatic.
Those with the most character and distinction tend to be produced in the southwestern part of the country, in the departments of Narino, Cauca (market name Popoyan), and Southern Huila. Southern Huila is where I look for colombians coffees. This Colombian Excelso Huila-Cascada de Bordones is a coffee that I enjoy roasting and serving to my family and friends.
Two more Colombians that I have and would like to share with you is Lot#: 3 Diogenes Muchicon Perdomo – San Antonio. Catura 100%. Grown in the city Inza, the region of Cauca, Colombia. This superb coffee is ranked 3rd out of the 12% percent of coffee grown in Colombia. A sweet, bright lively acidity, cup of coffee. The Jury Descriptions: sweet (24), bright lively acidity (24), citric and complex (21), creamy (19), smooth finish (18), cherry floral notes (16), chocolate caramel (11), red wine notes (10), round (6), lemon (6), buttery (5), blackberry (3), vanilla (2), sparkling finish, and what a great coffee to serve your guest.
The third Colombian coffee I want to talk about is Lot#: 4 Jorge Rincon – Llano Grande, very nice coffee from Colombia.The farmer responsible for this is Mr. Jorge Rincon.Grown in the city of Cubarral, region-Meta is Colombia’s #4 this year. The Jury Descriptions: floral (19), creamy body (18), chocolate (16), clean and bright (15), caramel (11), syrupy mouthfeel (8), sugar cane (7), sweet melon (5), sugar cane (7), vanilla (3), strawberry, cherry, peach, powerful acidity, sparkling finish and what a finish to this blog it is .Well here you have it three top Colombian coffees grown.One from the reigon of Huila, one from the reigon of Cauca, and the last one out of Meta, these are the Colombians that I drink on a regular basis.
This web-blog is to inform us on the importance of our coffee choices. What I will be doing is picking out the coffee countries that I am associated with and promote those reigons. Bryan

This was a neat post. First of all, I loved the pictures you included, especially the growing beans on the branch. Secondly, I enjoyed your discussion of the flavors tasted in the coffee–in fact, it sounds like what we look for when we do wine tasting, much the same. (Since we’re mostly drinking Nescafe Classic in North Africa, the next time I have some, I’m going to make it black and SEE if I can identify any of these tastes…I never thought about trying that before reading your description.)
