Coffee Farm Tour in Bogotá – From Bean to Brew
Escape the city and join a full-day journey into the Andean countryside, where Colombia’s coffee culture comes alive on a small organic farm led by campesina women. Enjoy a campesino-style breakfast and olleta-brewed coffee served by local hosts. Explore 5,000 coffee plants, learn to spot ripe beans, and discover how hand-picking shapes the harvest. The farm’s natural ecosystem—free of fumigation—reveals sustainable practices, including insects that live in rural balance. Join a workshop with a campesina host to grind roasted beans and brew a second cup with a French press. If the season allows, plant your own coffee tree and leave a mark on the land. Savor a Colombian lunch in a serene, open-air setting before returning to Bogotá. This immersive tour blends sustainability, storytelling, and flavor; from seed to sip. Authentic, cozy, and culturally rich, ideal for travelers who value real connections over mass tourism.

    Workshop & Coffee Tasting Guests dive into a hands-on coffee workshop where they learn about sustainable cultivation, bean selection, and local brewing traditions. The session contrasts two authentic methods: a hearty “campesino-style” brew served in the morning, prepared in a traditional olleta using pre-ground coffee, and later, a barista-style tasting using a French press, with beans freshly ground on-site by the campesina host. This tasting ritual invites guests to savor the diversity of Colombia’s coffee culture in one unforgettable experience.
