With that experience Sebastian made some important changes to the farm, looking to sell coffee that had more value added. That’s why he started to produce Natural and Honey coffees. At first the buyers were his past employers and later he decided to venture on his own. Sebastians second passion is tourism. That is how he started the Glamping side of his business.

But it wasn't until 1835 that commercial production was first registered with 2,560 green coffee bags exported to the United States. Today, Colombia is the fourth largest arabica coffee producer in the world (after Brazil, Vietnam and Indonesia) and has a reputation for producing some of the best coffee ever. But how did it achieve such scale and status? \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart of this is down to the National Federation of Coffee Growers and its charismatic advertising icon \"Juan Valdez\", a true testament to the power of marketing. But some of it is also down to climate and geography. The majority of Colombian coffee is grown along what is known as the Coffee-Growers Axis (aka Coffee Triangle), part of the rural Paisa region of the Andes where high altitudes and warm weather make for ideal growing conditions.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOf course, Colombia is about as well known for its coffee as it is for drug trafficking. As such, political violence has posed a consistent challenge to Colombia creating a sustainable coffee agricultural system. Weather, too, has taken its toll, with climate change leading to periods of both drought and flooding which have affected the region's output (Colombia was the second largest producer of arabica coffee until recently when it was surpassed by Vietnam and Indonesia). Still, coffee continues to be such an important part of Colombia's economy and tourist trade that there are even theme parks devoted to coffee. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most recent Colombian coffee 'brew ha ha\" took place last March 2013 when tens of thousands of Colombian coffee growers went on strike - the first in the country's history - asking for more help from the state and an overhaul of Colombia's coffee structure. The result: the Colombian government committed $444 million in support to coffee growers for 2013. What does this mean for the future of coffee in Colombia?

Indeed, much of the country's coffee is \"good\" in the sense that it produces a balanced, richly flavoured and aromatic cup. But Columbian Coffee can be a bit boring, with little nuance in the aftertaste, unless you know where to look. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColombian coffee beans are graded according to bean size (Excelso and Supremo) rather than altitude as is the case with most Central American and South American coffees. But size alone doesn't make a good coffee, and so we must do a little detective work to find the truly exceptional Colombian beans. Some can be found in the Suarez district in the northern part of Cauca, where you'll find beans with good balance hallmarked by dark fruit flavours and chocolate fragrance.

Their extended family is also involved in the business, making a day in the office feel like a natural extension of their homes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver the decades, they have relentlessly sought to perfect their craft, incorporating the most advanced technologies available to unlock the full potential of this unique terroir in coffee production. By adopting outstanding coffee varieties and cutting edge technology, the Barbosa family quickly realized that they were producing something truly unique. In 2018, Danilo lead the family business through a pivotal moment in their journey, shifting their focus to producing specialty coffees, a move that underscored their adaptability and innovation. An essential part of this new journey and a merit of Danilo's vision was working closely with Deyvid Leandro, another local producer with over 20 years of experience in coffee production but a focus on Q-grading, quality control, and fermentation processes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis transition was successful immediately, with their coffees reaching prominent positions in competitions and awards from the very first harvest. Their excellence was further recognized when they became the Brazilian Champions of the Cup of Excellence in 2021 and 2024, the highest recognition in coffee competitions, a testament to their dedication and innovation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLocated in the prestigious Cerrado Mineiro Region, the world's first Designation of Origin for coffee, the Barbosa Family production units are at the core of excellence. This origin is recognized for its unparalleled coffee quality, cutting-edge technology application, and unwavering commitment to sustainability. It's no wonder that this region is the largest certified area on the planet, bearing witness to their commitment to the finest coffee possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Barbosa family farms encompass a total area of 3,322 hectares, with 983 hectares dedicated to coffee production. They have over 1,000 hectares of natural reserves, and this balance between production and protected areas not only ensures a consistent supply of exceptional coffees but also reflects the family’s deep commitment to environmental preservation. All their natural reserve areas are duly legalized and certified, reinforcing their commitment to sustainability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor this specific lot the cherries were hand picked and placed as whole fruit directly into sealed GrainPro bags for approximately 96 hours of anaerobic fermentation. No pulping or additives are used. The fermentation is driven by native microbial activity within the sealed environment. Following fermentation, the cherries were removed and dried slowly on patios until the optimal moisture content was reached.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Cerrado region, the newest of three major Brazilian growing regions, has been building in reputation and production over the last few decades. Located in the heart of Brazil, it is renowned for its unique and high quality coffee production. Spanning across the states of Minas Gerais and Goiás, this region covers an extensive area characterized by its tropical savanna climate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe consistent weather patterns, marked by distinct dry and wet seasons, create an ideal environment for coffee cultivation. The region's altitude, ranging from 800 to 1,300 meters above sea level, combined with well-defined seasons, contributes to the development of coffee beans with distinct and desirable flavour profiles. These conditions result in beans that are often noted for their sweetness, balanced acidity, and complex aromas, making Cerrado Mineiro coffees highly sought after in the specialty coffee market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor over 150 years, Brazil has been the world’s largest coffee producer, supplying nearly a third of the world's coffee. The single state of Minas Gerais alone produces more coffee than any other entire country. The country's diverse climate and vast geographical expanse provide ideal conditions for coffee cultivation. From the high altitudes of Minas Gerais to the rolling hills of São Paulo and the lush landscapes of Espírito Santo, Brazil's coffee growing regions each contribute unique characteristics to the nation's coffee profile. This diversity allows Brazil to produce a wide range of coffee types, including Arabica and Robusta, catering to different taste preferences and market demands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrazilian coffee is often celebrated for its smooth, enjoyable flavour, with notes of chocolate, nuts, and balanced acidity, making it a favourite among both consumers and roasters worldwide. What truly distinguishes Brazil as a coffee-producing powerhouse is its commitment to innovation and sustainability in coffee farming. The country has pioneered numerous advancements in coffee cultivation, processing, and logistics, ensuring high-quality production while addressing environmental and social challenges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrazilian coffee farms, ranging from small family-owned estates to large plantations, often employ state-of-the-art techniques in irrigation, harvesting, and processing, resulting in consistent and superior specialty green coffee. Additionally, Brazil's robust coffee cooperatives and associations provide crucial support to farmers, promoting best practices and sustainable development. This integrated approach not only boosts the quality and quantity of coffee produced but also enhances the livelihoods of coffee-growing communities, reinforcing Brazil's position as a leader in the global coffee industry.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eclipse Coffee Roasters","offers":[{"title":"300g \/ Whole Bean","offer_id":52029907239213,"sku":null,"price":22.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"300g \/ Coarse (French Press)","offer_id":52029907271981,"sku":null,"price":22.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"300g \/ Medium Coarse (Filter)","offer_id":52029907304749,"sku":null,"price":22.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"300g \/ Medium (Aeropress)","offer_id":52029907337517,"sku":null,"price":22.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"300g \/ Medium Fine (Stove Top)","offer_id":52029907370285,"sku":null,"price":22.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"300g \/ Fine (Espresso)","offer_id":52029907403053,"sku":null,"price":22.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"950g \/ Whole Bean","offer_id":52029907435821,"sku":null,"price":62.25,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"950g \/ Coarse (French Press)","offer_id":52029907468589,"sku":null,"price":62.75,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"950g \/ Medium Coarse (Filter)","offer_id":52029907501357,"sku":null,"price":62.75,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"950g \/ Medium (Aeropress)","offer_id":52029907534125,"sku":null,"price":62.75,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"950g \/ Medium Fine (Stove Top)","offer_id":52029907566893,"sku":null,"price":62.75,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"950g \/ Fine (Espresso)","offer_id":52029907599661,"sku":null,"price":62.75,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"90g \/ Whole Bean","offer_id":52029907632429,"sku":null,"price":8.1,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"90g \/ Coarse (French Press)","offer_id":52029907665197,"sku":null,"price":8.2,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"90g \/ Medium Coarse (Filter)","offer_id":52029907697965,"sku":null,"price":8.2,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"90g \/ Medium (Aeropress)","offer_id":52029907730733,"sku":null,"price":8.2,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"90g \/ Medium Fine (Stove Top)","offer_id":52029907763501,"sku":null,"price":8.2,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"90g \/ Fine (Espresso)","offer_id":52029907796269,"sku":null,"price":8.2,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0461\/0321\/files\/JoiaRara300gBag.jpg?v=1777921329"}],"url":"https:\/\/eclipsecoffeeroasters.com\/en-eu\/collections\/bright-coffees.oembed","provider":"Eclipse Coffee Roasters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
