Central department around Bogotá, where La Palma y El Tucán helped popularize the Sidra varietal and experimental processing.
Cundinamarca is one of the departments where Colombian coffee became established early, sits in Royal Coffee's Central Zone, and is named as a key Colombian growing region for Sidra. La Palma y El Tucán here was among the first farms to grow Sidra commercially, and a Sidra from the farm carried Jooyeon Jeon to the 2019 World Barista Championship title.
