Cartagena: Colombian Specialty Coffee Tasting

2.Colombian Specialty Coffee Tasting

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 130 reviews · 2 hours · from $15

At Cartagena’s Café 472, guides such as Tomas, Santiago, Pedro, and Arturo lead a hands-on introduction to Colombian specialty coffee. You’ll compare three coffees brewed by Chemex, V60, and siphon, explore aromas and tasting notes, and learn how coffee moves from plantation to cup.

“Amazing experience! The workshop begins with an introduction to the history of coffee in Colombia before moving to the tasting itself. We explored three different brewing methods: the Chemex, which highlights fruity and complex notes; the V60, which brings out brightness and body; and finally, the Hario TCA-5 siphon, offering roundness and smoothness with honey aromas. Throughout the session, the flavors unfolded into a rich palette ranging from fresh fruits to chocolate, with sweet and floral undertones. The coffee was excellent, and the surprise at the end added a warm, memorable touch. An enriching discovery that I wholeheartedly recommend!”
