Supreme and Excelso are bean size descriptions, not cupping profiles, growing altitudes, or anything else. Supremos are bigger than Excelos, but these names do not mean anything on cup, per se. Basically, they are the names that the Coffee Federation came up with.  Colombia coffees like this one are produced on small farms and prepared and dried by the farmers, then combined into larger lots.

In 1996, the National Federation of Coffee Growers of Colombia (FNC) recognized the need to develop the Specialty Coffee segment and share the fruits of their efforts with the consumer. In order to achieve this, a special Research and Development Program was implemented. Due to the Federation's unique "grass-roots" cooperative structure, this program was able to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the coffee growing areas and their respective fincas. Colombia's Specialty Coffees are produced by a dedicated group of coffee farmers (cafeteros).
