“Really lovely afternoon. The owner of the coffee farm provided a fun and informative experience teaching us about coffee from green bean to cup. We got to roast coffee beans and taste 4 different coffees brewed using different methods. The owner (I’m so sorry I forgot his name) even gave me a little lesson on the coffee machine as we have one at home which I can’t really use properly. He was very engaging and made for a relaxed and individualized tour. Would recommend highly.”

I don’t really speak Spanish, but I understand quite a bit, and Ana was incredibly kind and patient. She spoke slowly so I could follow along, and when I didn’t understand something, she explained it in another way.
