Hacienda Coloma

About

Hacienda Coloma is a colonial-era coffee plantation that has opened its doors to the public for an informative and immersive Colombian coffee experience. A guided tour starts in the hacienda’s lush garden, where an abundance of native species showcase how rich and fertile the soil is. Afterwards, you’ll make your way through the fully operational plantation to see the many varieties of shade-grown Arabica coffee, and the time-consuming process of picking, washing, drying, and extracting the beans. After this comes the most critical step: the roasting process that gives coffee its characteristic color, aroma and taste. The tour ends with a coffee tasting, where you’ll get to enjoy the plantation’s final product and learn professional coffee tasting techniques. Of course, there’s also a shop where you can get some beans to bring with you, as well as other products, like Coloma’s coffee liqueur.
