Finca Tierra Activa Coffee Tour
Description
Join us for an enlightening coffee tour at Finca Tierra Activa, where you will delve into the art of coffee from bean to cup. Engage in the hands-on experience of harvesting coffee beans yourself!
Explore the World of Coffee at Finca Tierra Activa
Your adventure begins at the designated meeting point, Finca Tierra Activa, an ecological plantation operated by women, where you'll uncover the intricate processes behind coffee production.
Once greeted with some delightful harvested fruit, our immersive coffee journey will commence. We'll explore the dedicated cultivation areas of the farm, after which you’ll receive a basket, a sack, and a hat, ready to wander through the fields and harvest your own coffee beans under the guidance of the farm’s owners.
You will also get a glimpse of the fermentation process, where we will observe the pulping machinery and coffee washing tanks. Next, we will peruse the drying area and handpick the finest quality beans that qualify for the organic coffee certification seal, ensuring they can be marketed internationally.
Get ready to enjoy the next step: together, we will brew an artisanal cup of organic coffee! Each guest will get the chance to roast approximately 30 grams of coffee using a clay pot and grind it in a traditional mill. To complete the experience, we will savor a cup of authentic Colombian coffee, paired with tortas or corn arepas.
Following this enriching experience, we will conclude our two-hour tour.
