Generalidades Suaza
The municipality of Suaza is considered as the valley of the orchids. The people have a talent for handicraft and agriculture, as can be seen in the manufacture of the "suacerio hat" that is a national symbol. (Produced with the palm heart of the iraca, from which are drawn the fibers that are manually processed into a "suaceno liar.)
The coffee crop in this area is located in the altitudes between 1,400 and 1,700 meters, on a hilly terrain, for the many slopes of the western Cordillera Oriental. In the last years the dedication and vocation of the "suacena" people have managed to position their coffee as one of the best and most expensive coffees in Colombia and in the whole world; proof are the quality certificates FAIRTRADE, UTZ and Rainforest Alliance that were granted to Suaza, ensuring the quality of each bean, its traceability and the respect for the surrounding environment.
The love, patience and respect for nature of farmers in the area, the excellent climate and the altitude create a perfect, vivid coffee with an expressive and sweet aroma, a balanced, lemony acidity and a long final taste.
