CAFE QUINDIO is a family owned and women-owned business from Armenia, the capital city of the Quindío State in Colombia. Our story is full of magic and entrepreneurship. Back in the early 1990´s, 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. Quindío State, from where our name comes from, is located is the center of Colombia, that´s 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 Sweet Vanilla Specialty Harvest coffee is the perfect selection of Caturra coffee harvested between 5249-6233 feet above sea level (1600-1900 m.a.s.l) in the colonial town of Salento, in the Andes Mountain Range. The soil property of this altitude highlights tasting notes of vanilla ice cream. Its medium roast with its medium acidity, offers you a cup of coffee with a creamy-medium body and white caramel with pear residual notes along with a vanilla and white tea fragrance and scent. The sourcing from the same farms 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.
