Colombian coffee is the one almost everyone has tried — and for good reason. It's the dependable, caramel-sweet, smooth cup that works as well in a drip pot as it does pulled as espresso.

Where it's grown

Colombia grows roughly a tenth of the world's coffee along the Andes, where steep slopes, rich volcanic soil, and a near-perfect climate let the country harvest nearly year-round. Most is washed-process Arabica, which is what gives Colombian its signature clean, balanced profile.

What it tastes like

Look for caramel and toffee sweetness wrapped around a soft citrus brightness, with a smooth, rounded body. It's the definition of a balanced cup — nothing spiky, nothing flat.

How to brew it

Colombian is forgiving and versatile. For drip, use a medium grind and a 1:16 ratio. For espresso, the dark roast pulls a sweet, syrupy shot with great crema. It also makes an excellent base for milk drinks.
