    Overview

    A Guided Journey Through Colombia's Finest Cups

    At the tasting table, an expert barista from the coffee house walks you through the story behind Colombian specialty coffee: how it is grown, how it is processed, and why a handful of estates reach a cup profile that competes with the best in the world.

    You will train your palate to recognise aromas, identify flavour attributes and defects, and taste three distinct coffees side by side. Each guest leaves with an experience journal, an apron and a Coffee Ambassador diploma. Private round-trip transportation from your hotel is available as an optional add-on.

    The Itinerary

    Your day, designed in detail

    1. A private vehicle collects your group at the hotel and takes you to the coffee house. Rate per vehicle according to group size.

      Optional add-on

    2. The origins, regions and altitudes that make Colombian coffee unique, told by an expert barista.

    3. From cherry to green bean: harvesting, fermentation, drying and roasting, and how each decision shapes the cup.

    4. Learn the vocabulary professionals use to score a coffee — body, acidity, sweetness, aftertaste — and how to spot defects.

    5. A guided aroma and flavour recognition exercise that trains your palate before the cupping table.

      Aroma workshop

    6. Taste three distinct specialty coffees side by side and put everything you learned into practice.

    7. Take home your experience journal, apron and diploma as a Coffee Ambassador. Optional private transfer back to your hotel.
