Starting the day without a coffee can be as hard as preventing ourselves from getting goosebumps every time we listen to the National Anthem. Colombian coffee makes us extremely proud, this is why, every time we meet foreigners we need to let them know why we love it:
1. Coffee is the most common beverage in Colombia. According to TomaCafe’s research, 47% of the beverages we take per day are coffee.
2. The great majority of Colombians take 2.5 to 3 cups of coffee a day in average keeping it always warm and fresh.
3. Colombian Coffee influences positively on the performance of our sportsmen. Taking 1 to 3 cups of coffee daily reduces the fatigue during training and on challenging situations.

5. The countries that have the highest rates in coffee consumption are: the Netherlands, Finland, Denmark and Germany. The latter is one of the main importers of Colombian Coffee.
