Coffee from the heart of Quindío
Why Café Quindío’s special harvests carry the name of a town.
Quindío is one of Colombia’s smallest departments and lies in the middle of the country’s coffee region. The Coffee Cultural Landscape of Colombia, of which Quindío is part, is on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
A roastery from Armenia
Café Quindío is a coffee roastery from Armenia, the capital of Quindío. The company started in a small house in the south of the city; the timeline on its own site begins in 1991. Today it has its own coffee bar in Armenia and 33 shops in Colombia, and it opened a first shop abroad, in Dammam, Saudi Arabia.
A town on every bag
The special harvests carry the name of their place of origin, so you can taste the difference between towns only a few kilometres apart. All three are washed coffees, with these tasting notes according to the roastery:
- Circasia: honey and strawberry.
- Córdoba: cocoa and brown sugar.
- Salento: vanilla, white caramel and pear.
There is also Génova, with notes of caramel and red fruit.
