The Cumbre region has been a center of high quality tea production, and is known for its unique varieties such as black tea, green tea, white tea and jasmine tea. The crops yield a surprisingly sweet and smooth tea, and are packaged under the Colombian brands Hindú and Bitaco, which are exported to the United States, Panama, Guatemala, Paraguay, Bolivia and many other countries.
