Cali Coffee Drinking Tour

Did you know 93% of colombian coffee is exported?

Most of the times you get a coffee in Colombia it's not even colombian, specially if you're not in the coffee region.

So how do I get a real colombian coffee in Cali? You have to know where to find it!

Let's take your nose and taste buds on a journey through the flavor and aromas of a real colombian coffee cup from south Colombia.

Just as ourselves, every cup of coffee is different and unique. From the crop to the process, everything affects the profile (flavor and aroma) of the cup. Same grains might taste different if brewed with different methods! What does a specialty coffee from the south-west of Colombia taste like?
