Colombia's coffee story is rooted in the Andean slopes surrounding Medellín. Volcanic-influenced soils and steady mountain humidity help produce the region's clean acidity and floral notes; at the workshop you'll touch on this landscape as you learn how processing and roast profiles change flavor.
The class blends practical technique with cultural context: a bilingual local barista explains regional varieties, growing practices and the rise of specialty coffee in Antioquia. Expect hands-on sessions with espresso and filter methods, scent and palate training, and guided cuppings to sharpen your sensory vocabulary.
Practical guidance: arrive 10–15 minutes early to settle in; wear comfortable shoes for standing and clothes you don't mind a little coffee dust on. Bring a notebook if you plan to record recipes and ratios. The venue is wheelchair-accessible and the pace suits beginners—baristas provide real-time feedback so you leave with confident, repeatable brewing steps.
This workshop is ideal for travelers who want a compact, immersive lesson in specialty coffee—both the how and the why. Plan to leave with a deeper appreciation for Colombian beans and the hands-on skills to reproduce a better cup back home.
