Description
This unique walking experience is thoughtfully crafted for foreigners and locals in Spanish, English, and Portuguese (We select the language one day before the experience if all participants agree, otherwise I suggest canceling). We utilize information and expertise in specialty coffee to convey the truth.
Our goal is to provide an understanding of specialty coffee, offering history, samples of coffee plants, processes, and bean defects, among other aspects, teaching you how to appreciate coffee through various methods, evaluating them, and guiding you in selecting quality beans.
The tour includes three stations. We'll be regular customers, not having pre-booked the coffee shops, to impartially assess their service and coffee quality.
With the assistance of our coffee experts and feedback from baristas, we're committed to refining this experience. We appreciate any suggestions after the coffee experience because we continuously improve it based on your feedback.

Wonderful
A truly unforgettable experience, Luis is brilliant and super committed.
I 100% recommend this beautiful experience
Thank you Luis, we will see each other again!
Operator response
¡Muchísimas gracias por esas palabras! Fue un auténtico placer compartir esta experiencia con ustedes.
Me alegra profundamente que hayan disfrutado el recorrido por la historia, los procesos, la cata, los molinos y los diferentes métodos. Para mí, lo más gratificante es saber que hoy se van con la capacidad de reconocer un café de especialidad a través de sus propios sentidos y no por el precio.
Espero que disfruten mucho el libro que les compartí. Fue creado justamente para que lleven consigo este pedacito de la cultura cafetera y recuerden siempre lo vivido recorriendo las cafeterías de especialidad en Bogotá.

Luis was incredibly...
Luis was incredibly knowledgeable and you can tell coffee is his passion. He explained everything thoroughly, from the different ways of brewing your coffee, to how to determine the tastes/sensations you get, the best way of grinding beans, to all of the history behind it.
I’d recommend this tour to anyone looking to try a few varieties of coffee and who is interested in learning more about it to perhaps take home and practice making their own improved home cups of coffee.

Dear Sebastian,
Thank you for your kind words! It was a pleasure to see how much you enjoyed learning about the world of coffee during your time here in Bogotá.
We were so happy to see your excitement as you learned about the different ways to brew, the history of the beans, and how to find those special flavors in every cup. Knowing that you feel ready to take those tips home to make your own perfect morning coffee is exactly why we love what we do.
For our team, seeing a guest connect with the craft this way is a wonderful reward. It makes everything we do feel truly worth it.
We continue in touch if you need any further recommendation or want to learn more deeply.
Happy brewing at home!

Estamos muy felices que hayas disfrutado de la experiencia de café de especialidad en Bogotá. Cada día buscamos formas mas didácticas de enseñar de una manera práctica conceptos complejos y fomentamos el uso de todos los sentidos de nuestros asistentes para que ellos mismos puedan describir y entender una buena taza de café de especialidad sin necesidad de ser un barista o catador profesional. De esta forma mejoramos nuestro criterio de selección de cafés de especialidad y podemos valorar si lo que pagamos es justo o no.

Hemos hecho la tarea completa para que los asistentes a la experiencia aprendan sobre café de especialidad y nos comprometemos a seguir mejorando. Usamos el olfato, la visión, el tacto, el sonido, el gusto y hasta un sexto sentido para identificar por asociación sabores, texturas y aromas propios en una taza de café de especialidad. Al final de la experiencia, cada uno de nosotros llegamos a conclusiones propias y entendemos la complejidad del café con simplicidad.

Highly Recommended Coffee Workshop with an Expert Barista
I participated in this workshop twice. The first time was a private guided walking tour, and the second was a workshop on how to make great coffee at home with friends. Luis is a highly experienced barista, so if you have any customization requests for the experience, be sure to contact him in advance, as he can tailor the experience to your needs. I thoroughly enjoyed both sessions. Luis meticulously prepares all the content and equipment, helping you to understand Colombian coffee. Since he also has experience in cultivation, he can provide insights from seed to cup. He is very knowledgeable about the local coffee scene in Bogotá as well. I’m delighted to have chosen this experience and made a great friend. Highly recommended!
