Amaretto Coffee

Coffee production in Colombia has a reputation as producing mild, well balanced coffee beans.

Colombia’s average annual coffee production of 11.5 million bags is the third total highest in the world, after Brazil and Vietnam.

Regional climate change associated with global warming has caused Colombian coffee production to decline since 2006 from 12 million 132-pound bags, the standard measure, to 9 million bags in 2010. Average temperatures have risen 1 degree Celsius between 1980 and 2010, with average precipitation increasing 25 percent in the last few years, disrupting the specific climatic requirements of the Coffee arabica bean.
