Café Pandora "Coffee Tasting" Pereira - Unforgettable experience, an afternoon in the daily life with Juan David, his cousin Laura and his whole family, walking around the mountains surrounded by coffee plants sown by themselves at a pulse, we also find handsome (those who cry like song), cedar, bore, sour cane for the prostate say, planting of cassava, ginger, pineapple, orange, Mandarin lemon, avocado and possibly as many plants and plants. The whole tour with explanation of the history of coffee from Africa and the observation of the crops (make us evaluation and difficult to remember data, finally many laughs and we continue), the care and process of coffee: washing, natural, honey and anaerobic. (Recommendation comfortable clothes, wear rubber boots to enter the entire estate, there is own cloud as our hostess would say, downpour for sure) Meanwhile, we are offered a delicious lunch elaborated on the wood fire, an exquisite sancocho cafetero and for the end the tasting of Pandora coffee. So we go one by one through each step and more coffee until we see the final packing process, we use hats and disinfection shoes for admission. We finish the experience with more coffee tasting... teary eyes of seeing so much joy and drunkenness that they impress on this process so hard to grow coffee, that comes to our hands without knowing the hard work that has been to get a healthy bean to roast and grind, all the above to reach our cup of coffee morning without noticing anything only the purchase in the supermarket or neighborhood store, and already. Thanks Juan David and family, young Colombian entrepreneurs and coffee farmers, what a wonderful job of the whole family!!!

Favorite! - I attended this session and it surpassed my expectations. Antonio's passion for coffee was evident from the beginning, and it was contagious. His extensive knowledge about coffee sparked my interest to learn more about it What I liked most was how he explained everything in a really clear and interesting way. Plus, he made the session really fun! Overall, I left the class feeling excited and knowing a lot more about coffee. I definitely recommend this class to anyone who wants to learn more about coffee. Huge thanks to Antonio for making it such a great experience!

Highly Recommend - Very Unique - One of our favorite Central America experiences. The class was very informative and done in a private and comfortable environment. Our guide also helped us to connect to WIFI to book an Uber back, took us to a local store to get something that we needed, gave recommendations, etc. I would highly recommend this experience to others!

Excellent tasting experience. - Excellent tasting experience with top-notch information about coffee: varieties, processes, roasting, smells, flavors. Very revealing the distinction of smells in the coffee was my favorite part, besides tasting the coffee.

Worth it - Really great guys and it was a professional session rather than a tourist attraction. Go instead of the usual coffee tours if you want to explore the taste of coffee more than the cultivation
