Every year, Colombia's most beloved product takes center stage at the Cafés de Colombia Expo 2026 held at Corferías in the heart of the city. Colombia's coffee is renowned worldwide for its high-quality Arabica beans, distinct from the cheaper Robusta variety. This unique status is largely due to the collective efforts of the Federación Nacional de Cafeteros, which has been celebrating a century at this year's expo.
The federation's collaboration amongst coffee producers ensures small farmers can sustain their businesses through centralized cost arrangements.
The expo highlights the critical role coffee plays in Colombia's economy and employment, with numerous farmers present, including those who have shifted from coca cultivation. Alongside tasting various coffees, attendees can explore merchandise like coffee-flavored beer, soy milk, and even coffee-themed fashion items such as T-shirts, jumpers, and socks.
The event also features a mini-museum showcasing the history and future prospects of the Federación de Cafeteros, attracting both coffee enthusiasts and casual visitors alike.
