Colombia Tolima

Colombia Tolima

Colombia’s Tolima region — nestled in the central Andes with rich volcanic soils, cool mountain air, and high altitudes ranging roughly from 1,200 m to over 2,000 m — produces standout Arabica coffees that reflect the terroir’s vibrant character and climatic balance.

The Castillo variety, developed by Colombia’s coffee research institute to combine disease resistance with excellent cup quality, thrives here. It’s especially suited to Tolima’s diverse microclimates and high altitudes, resulting in beans with balanced acidity, clarity, and sweetness.

Cup profiles from Tolima’s Castillo lots tend to be fruit-forward yet balanced, clean brightness, lively citrus, and smooth chocolate notes with a long, sweet finish, often complemented by nutty or floral hints depending on processing
