See the coffee production process

Visit a traditional finca in the heart of Coffee Country to see first-hand how Colombia's renowned coffee beans are picked, roasted and brewed.

Colombia's idyllic coffee-growing region is a landscape of undulating deep-green hills adorned with towering wax palms. Within this rustic setting, dozens of coffee fincas use traditional methods to produce one of the country's most celebrated exports.

Visit a working coffee plantation to see the production process first-hand, from the picking of ripe coffee 'cherries' to the various stages of sorting, grading and roasting. Finish by sampling the final brew, made from beans freshly roasted that morning
