Cafe´ de Colombia - GROWING (#)
„When the seedlings grow to about two feet in height, they are transplanted to the plantation where they are carefully cultivated. It takes an average coffee tree approximately three to four years to grow to full size and to blossom. The first fruit appears about six months later. Coffee trees are unique; they bear ripened fruits and flowers at the same time.“

„Cafe´ de Colombia - QUALITY Another aspect of Colombian Coffee that makes it so unique is the country's high quality control standards. It starts in the farm where the National Federation of Coffee Growers of Colombia sends an appointed official to inspect each farm for sanitary conditions, healthy trees and the quality of each harvest. The inspector checks to see if the beans have been washed properly. He looks for adequate bean size, color texture and overall quality.“
