🌱 "Coffee isn't that complicated ... is it?"

Did you know that the range of flavours of a good coffee is comparable to the one we know for a good wine? 🍷

-

Coffee is the most widely consumed beverage in the world (after water)... And yet, more often than not, only a ridiculously limited version is known.

The tip of the iceberg... Which boils down to espresso and its most commercial derivatives (capu, latte, machiatto, etc.).

It's a bit as if, in Belgium, in the world of beer, we only knew pilsner... 😢🍻

=> Let's learn to taste this extraordinary beverage by living up to the complex flavours offered by good preparation!

Ies routes☕

🌱 "Zona Cafetera" - Coffee grows everywhere in Colombia!

Let's dispel the first myth:
"You should only be interested in coffee in the Zona Cafetera".

In Colombia, coffee is grown in the north, center and south. And also close to the coast... and that's that!

=> Let's learn to enjoy this extraordinary drink wherever we are in the country!

    A great experience that I recommend!"

Enjoy Colombia

by enjoying its emblematic product!

The coffee!

Not all coffees are delicious in Colombia. Surprising in such a famous producing country!? This may even disappoint coffee lovers.

The explanation lies in the fact that the market is mainly focused on the export of its best grains. The result is that, paradoxically, the Colombian consumer is not familiar with the subtleties of his own country's flagship product.

That said, the best beans and the know-how of the "cafeteros " will come to you, if you knock on the right doors!

In our workshops, you will learn how to taste and prepare your cup as real colombian baristas.

This may well change your approach to coffee, to the country, and bring an extra flavor to your trip!
