But if you take a trip up North toward the Atlantic coast, you'll discover something truly magical: the stunning Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta mountains. Imagine yourself lounging on black sand beaches, with waves crashing against towering peaks, all while enjoying a cup of one of Latin America's most distinctive shade-grown coffees. Thanks to the rich volcanic soil, Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta delivers a bold, earthy flavor with delightful hints of dark chocolate and toasted almonds. And despite its intense taste, this coffee boasts a smooth, low-acid finish that's bound to bring joy to your taste buds.
Origin: Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta

Colombia
Coffee production in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta is a significant endeavor spread across three departments in Colombia: La Guajira, El Magdalena, and El Cesar, all nestled within the breathtaking Sierra Nevada mountain range.
Notably, coffee cultivation isn't solely the domain of peasants; it also involves active participation from indigenous communities. Within the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, four indigenous ethnic groups—Arhuacos, Koguis, Wiwas, and Kankuamos—play a crucial role. Among these communities, some have developed their own top-quality products, with coffee standing out as one of their specialties.
The primary coffee producers within the Sierra Nevada operate within what's known as the "Coffee Belt of the Caribbean." This region encompasses four cities in the Magdalena department: Cienaga, Santa Marta, Fundacion, and Aracataca.
