I LOVE COFFEE
I love coffee, so I had to do the Coffee Tasting tour with Laura! I had been to a plantation near Medellin, but did not find this tour repetitive. I loved finding the flavour notes in the coffee, learning about the coffee regions of the world, and specifically where our coffee came from in Columbia. We did two cafés that were each run by the family of the plantation and were from different regions. The first was in a beautiful setting and the coffee was pleasant. A good every day coffee. The second coffee tasting was so detailed by the staff, from pouring, measuring and tasting. I even stayed after to have a latte and journal!
Laura was a great guide and knew her coffee. I really learned about how to read labels on coffee bags, checking for the kind of bean, is it mixed, when it was picked, etc. The QR codes on the bag gave very detailed information. I was the only client and Laura took me around the communities and telling me about their history, and pointed out some Embassies. It was a bit of a distance, but worth it.
Maybe doing one in the Candelaria region would be good. I found a coffee shop that only used beans from Huila the next day!

Amazing experience around coffee
We learned so much more about coffee than we expected, about coffee culture, history, growing regions and brewing methods and its effect on taste. The tasting itself is incredible, more like a wine tasting, with fragrance, aroma, body and flavors. We also enjoyed Camilas explanations tremendously
Operator response
We are so glad that you enjoyed learning about Colombian coffee with us and that you enjoyed the coffees you tasted. And yes, Camila has a gift when it comes to teaching coffee!

Bogota Coffee House Tour
Wonderful walking tour of three Bogota coffee houses with Camila. She shared her knowledge of Colombian coffee with me, I managed to understand and define the complexities of Colombian coffee and finally understand why I like my coffee served in a cold cup. This is a wonderful, relaxed way to taste and see Bogota.
Operator response

Excellent workshop! Super recommended
A friend of mine traveled to Bogotá before and recommended that I give this workshop a shot.
The workshop price is good in my opinion. I was expecting more people to join us, as the workshop is open for reservation, but I was the only one this time. And I have to say that it was super interesting.
My guide, Camila, was super helpful and did an awesome job telling the story of coffee, how important it is in Colombia, and guiding me through the different coffee types, how to navigate this sea of flavors that I wasn't aware existed before.
The duration was excellent; we went a bit over the scheduled time, but I was so interested that it was such a joy! Camila did a great job introducing herself, ensuring that I was having a good time, enjoying the workshop, and learning!
I would recommend doing this either alone or with friends or family. I suppose that having multiple people would make things even more fun!

For serious coffee lovers
Wow. So much to learn about coffee. Think of this as you might a wine tasting. Learn how to evaluate taste, flavor, aroma, body and finish. Camila shared plenty of knowledge about the coffee growing regions of Colombia … more than I can absorb. For coffee lovers, this is a fascinating education.

Lack of detailed communication and check-in prior to the event
I was looking forward to this coffee tasting tour. However there was miscommunication and lack of details provided regarding the exact time or a direct contact outside of the trip advisor app / website was missing. Had Karen checked in even a few days prior to the event I would have had to opportunity to request a refund earlier knowing that I would have missed the time could have been helpful. I’m writing this now sitting in the cafe waiting and no refund. I had to reach out directly to Karen directly through a WhatsApp number the coffee shop manager provided me.
Operator response
Timothy, I am truly sorry that you couldn't arrive in time for the workshop, but arrived half an hour after it ended. I did contact you through the Trip Advisor app right after you booked, since that is the only way I have to contact you. Had I known you weren't clear about the start time that is listed on the website, I would have let you know that it starts at 10 am. Since I didn't receive an answer from you, and the information is on the TripAdvisor website, I assumed you knew the start time, as did the other guests who booked through TripAdvisor for that same workshop. Also, in the booking information you received, you can see my Whatsapp number and could have contacted me through Whatsapp or the TripAdvisor app/website to request clarifications at any time. We do offer alternate days/times for people who cannot arrive in time for the workshop they booked, but as you mentioned afterward through TripAdvisor app messages, alternate dates did not work with your travel schedule. I have mentioned the difficulty you had to TripAdvisor.
