RE: Starbucks Colombia Single Origin Whole Bean

I'm not a fan of Starbucks blends. But in Colombia, some coffees are top-notch. The beans are very similar to those produced here in Venezuela as they are 100% arabica. But a couple of months ago, I had to go to Colombia, and I was recommended to try coffee from the Quindio region. It is truly one of the best coffees I remember tasting. I brought some with me, and I'm a bit tragic since I only have very little left. If you ever come across a coffee called Cafe Quindio, try it :)

I can imagine the difference when you get it locally. I like how almost every coffee in Latin America has that caramel cocoa notes to it compared to what Indonesian has that are always more fruity, apple sour,and tart. I also notice that there are differences for imported vs local coffee beans. Usually though, the imported ones often have slightly better quality (at least that's what happened here) and the locals got the lesser but still good quality beans. I hope this practice doesn't happen anywhere. If I ever come across that coffee, I'd try it! I am open to trying different colombian coffee😁
