Tim's Coffee Plantation
Tim the English owner of the place that we stayed while in Salento has also his own coffee plantation and he took us on a half day tour to introduce us to his coffee growing business. It was really informative and great experience as we have learned so much about growing coffee, preparing the seeds, roasting them, drying and the whole process until drinking it. It just made me realize how little I knew about coffee apart from the fact that it taste amazing and I need it every day to function properly. Unfortunately Bryan didn't pass the test and although he has tried a few sips he won’t join me in my "coffee culture" routine. Anyway Tim has a great concept where everyone around the world can lease a row of coffee plants on his plantation on a yearly basis and his staff will look after it and when its ready they will send it to you. How cool is that! To have your own wee coffee plantation in Colombia and have fresh coffee delivered to you. Check out his website for more info http://www.yourowncoffeefarm.com/ Once I have more funds I might consider this for myself.
Amazing coffee pics!
