Enjoy a Colombian coffee plantation tour in the region of Quindio, where your host's 3 hectare farm is located, the quintessential Colombian coffee zone, and a UNESCO world heritage site. Your coffee tour of this lush green plantation amidst a walnut grove is guided by Ines who is a professional taster and barista. Your tour lasts about three hours and includes a farm tour, coffee tasting and concludes with a freshly brewed cup of single-origin coffee served with arepas, traditional Colombian cornmeal cakes. Begin your tour with a walk through the coffee farm and learn about the different varieties of coffee and the native trees that provide the necessary shade. Next you can observe coffee picking (if in harvest). You will then visit the utility and dryer to understand cherry pulping, washing and the post-harvest processes to get the most intense flavor out of every bean. Your coffee farm tour concludes with a tasting of typical Colombian "onces" that include arepa and fresh cheese, both made by hand with ingredients from the farm, and a good cup of traditional Colombian coffee from the farm's single origin beans.
