It was quickly adopted by small family farms and became a local cash crop. While coffee boomed in Colombia, exportation of coffee didn't begin until the 1800s at a mere 100 bags for their first shipment. As countrys like Germany, the USA, and France began to cosume more coffee, Colombia ramped up their production to meet the demand. By the 1900s coffee farms grew from small family farms to large businesses and the the National Federation of Coffee Growers of Colombia was created to protect farmers. Very quickly, Colombia became the third largest exporter of coffee. Colombian coffee is grown in the mountain rnages of the Andes Mountains. This allows high elevation growth for high acidity beans, a greatly sought after quality in coffee. The tropical Andes hotspot is said to be the richest and most diverse region on earth, great for growing quality coffee cherries. Additional Details ------------------------------ Package quantity: 1
