Colombia Bucaramanga Specialty Coffee

Bucaramanga is a Colombian region located in the department of Santander, in northern Colombia. Bucaramanga is considered the capital region of this department. In total, the department of Santander has around 50,000 hectares for the cultivation of coffee and hosts more than 30,000 producers, which ultimately represents only 5% of the weight harvested. In the heart of this department, coffee is produced at an altitude of over 1,200 meters. In order to slow down the growth and make the coffee complex, the trees are covered under "parasol" canvases. This technique consists of creating a much more stable environment for the coffee tree with a better controlled temperature. 55% of producers grouped in the heart of this department do not have more than one hectare of production.
