      From Bean To Cup: Halfday Coffee Adventure

      Colombia is well known for its quality coffee. Visiting Colombia and experiencing a vital part of our culture is essential.

      ­ 

      We will visit an authentic working coffee farm 45 minutes from Medellín. You’ll pass through Antioquia’s gorgeous green landscape on your way to the farm. At the coffee farm, you’ll learn the entire process of making coffee from the plant to the cup, and you’ll get to know the daily life of Colombian coffee cooperatives that still produce coffee in a traditional and fair way.

      ­ 

      This half-day activity takes you to a coffee finca (farm) that is typical of many small family businesses in Colombia, producing exclusive coffee that you will get to taste. 

      ­ 

      You’ll stroll through the coffee plantation as the farmer explains the origins of coffee, starting with growing the healthiest plants through to collecting the red coffee cherries that are eventually processed into dried green coffee beans.

      ­ 

      Then, you’ll learn about the roasting process that takes the odorless green coffee bean and converts it into the rich brown bean that we all know and love, full of flavor and succulent aroma. Listen closely as the coffee farmer explains the key characteristics of great coffee, both in scent and taste, and shares how to prepare a great cup of coffee at home.

      ­ 

      After seeing the involved, manual process required to grow, harvest, dry, roast, grind, and then brew a cup of coffee, you’ll never take this everyday drink for granted again. 

      ­ 

      At the end of the tour, you’ll have the opportunity to buy freshly roasted coffee straight from its source, the perfect souvenir from Colombia to share with family and friends (or drink all on your own)!
