Urban Legend:
Maybe it started with selling all first grade coffee abroad, so only second grade left.
The second grade coffee are from the defected beans. So they mostly roast it long/strong, so the taste of the defects are hided by the stronger roasting.
This gave the coffee not a good, but a bitter taste.
People thought that this is the taste of colombian coffee. To hide this flavor they put sugarcane sugar (panela) and/or milk in their coffee.
This is why they drink Tinto (long coffee) in Colombia with sugarcane sugar, to hide the taste of the detected beans.
But it is changing, because more and more coffeeshops open where they pay attention to make good coffee. Especially in the coffee regions like Salento.

quoting nevent1q…0g4jI was today years old, when I realized columbians are not drinking their awesome coffee.
As #Colombia is the 3rd largest coffee grower, we expected to drink amazing coffee everywhere.
But it turned out, that they export the first grade coffee, and only consume the second grade in the country.
Mostly!
Of course there are coffee places where you can drink amazing coffee. But local people don't really know the difference, therefore they got used to the second grade coffee, and they could sell the first grade coffee abroad for higher markups.
