„Central Colombia is trisected from north to south by threecordilleras, or mountain ranges. The central and eastern cordilleras produce the bestcoffees. The principal coffees of the central cordillera are Medellin, Armenia, andManizales, all named for the towns or cities through which they are marketed. Medellin,the most famous coffee of the three, is known for heavy body, rich flavor, and fine,balanced acidity; Manizales and Armenia are, in general, thinner in body and less acidy.For the purposes of large-scale marketing in the United States, these three coffees areoften grouped together as MAM, an acronym for Medellin-Armenia-Manizales.“

The Coffee Review - the world's leading coffee buying guide
„Arabica coffee is traditionally grown in shade in many (but not all) parts of Mexico, Central America, Colombia, Peru, and Venezuela, and in some other parts of the world, including India and some regions of Indonesia and Africa. Elsewhere arabica coffee is traditionally grown in full sun, or near full sun. The importance of maintaining shade canopies to supply habitat for migrating song birds in Central America has led to a controversial campaign by researchers at the Smithsonian Institute and their supporters to define "shade grown" in rather narrow terms (shade provided by mixed native trees) and label coffees grown under such a native canopy as "bird friendly." Farmers who traditionally have not grown coffee in shade but maintain extensive forest reserves on their land understandably object to the concept, as do those who use non-native trees to shade their coffee. On the other hand, shade grown coffees most definitely are much easier on the environment than sun grown coffees, and the better tasting traditional varieties of arabica, bourbon and typica, are, in Central America at least, best grown in shade.“

„What does coffeehave to do with birds? Plenty! In the mid-elevations ofMexico, Central America, the Caribbean, and Colombia, most of the forestsstill standing are in traditional coffee plantations. Theseprovide the last refuge for birds that have lost their habitat to thevast destruction of tropical forests.“
