| We all know about Juan Valdez. But what else is there to explore around Colombian coffee? |
Guarded by Andean beautiful mountains, hills, and valleys, Colombians receive every day with rich and intense coffee's aromas impregnating their streets and houses. Tradition, passion, and a great weather have turned this Latin American country into an absolute reference in the study of coffee's growing and culture. While it’s true that coffee does not originally come from Colombia, ever since its arrival, more than 300 hundred years ago, it has become an essential part of Colombia's identity and a piece of its history that's worth exploring and discovering, especially if you consider yourself a true coffee lover.
If there’s a word to describe Colombia’s cups of joe, that word is variety. It is thanks to different soils and climates all around its national landscape that we can enjoy the unique flavors and contrasts of their different beans and production's methods. That’s the main reason why UNESCO decided to name the famous “coffee triangle,” a set of extensive regions specialized in coffee production, a World Heritage Site. So if you’re planning a trip to Colombia to immerse yourself in Latin America’s worldview and traditions through coffee culture, you can’t miss these 5 locations:
Flavors of Bogotá Specialty Coffee Experiences
In a country like Colombia, you can expect to find some of the most charming and experienced cafés in the continent. It’d be hard to know which one to explore first. Which is why the people from Flavors of Bogota have created a special tour so you can discover Colombia's capital coffee's scene, try a great variety of coffee drinks, and learn from world-class baristas brewing it.
If you’d like to visit Bogota’s coffee houses on your own, then we recommend you to go to cafés like Amor Perfecto, Devotion, Café Chan Chan, Azahar, Bourbon Coffee Roasters, and many others!
La Victoria Coffee Plantation
Prepare to turn back in time in one of Colombia’s oldest coffee plantations, located in the little town of Minca, near Santa Marta. The Victoria Coffee Company has been working across the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains since its foundation in 1892. Nowadays, its owners provide a bean-to-brew educational tour, showing the whole process of growing and roasting Arabica coffee. Visitors and participants will see which was the old machinery used during the XIX century and will have a chance to taste different blends, accompanied by pies.
