Cafe Vega in Colombia

  ...in Cartagena

Recently, colleagues in Cartagena de Indias Colombia were introduced to Cafe Vega dark roasted coffee. Colombia, the world's largest producer of mild washed Arabica coffee, produced a total of 14.2 million 60 kilo bags between January and December 2016 (https://www.federaciondecafeteros.org/). However, other coffees are enjoyed by discerning consumers. Cafe Vega coffee was well received.
