CAFE QUINDIO is a family owned and women-owned business from Armenia, the capital city of the Quindo State in Colombia. Our story is full of magic and entrepreneurship. Back in the early 1990s, our founder, Nubia Motta Camargo, found an opportunity in roasting at origin premium coffee beans. Back then, these premium beans were not sold locally and were reserved for the international market. It was a risky move since the local market was not used to drink good quality coffee, but a move that 30 years later, has given CAFE QUINDIO a special place in the heart of all coffee lovers. What was born as a dream, is now a reality, one in which over 400 employees work fully committed to offer you the best cup of coffee from local coffee growers roasted and packed at origin. Quindo State, from where our name comes from, is located is the center of Colombia, thats why we call ourselves the Coffee from the Heart of Colombia. This strategic location gives our State the privilege of having flat terrain as well as the majestic Andes Mountains. This difference in altitudes, allows the region to offer different varieties of Arabica coffee, each with its unique characteristics of flavor, notes, body and texture. Our Single-Origin Genova coffee is the perfect blend of varieties (Colombia and Caturra) of coffee harvested between 5741-6069 feet above sea level (1750-1850 m.a.s.l) in a farm owned by the TORRES family in the picturesque and colonial town of Genova (from which the products name derives). The soil property of this farm highlights tasting notes of sweet caramel. Its medium roast with its medium acidity, offers you a cup of coffee with a medium and balanced body and long-lasting residual notes along with a caramel fragrance and scent. The sourcing from the same farm and family gives this coffee and exceptional consistency and quality. By buying this coffee, you are contributing to the well-being of many local and small coffee growers in the well-known Coffee Triangle of Colombia, where coffee tradition is still the staple of this magical region.
