Book Your Coffee Tour in Salento, Campania

Summary: What a FANTASTIC experience, I cannot recommend this enough. This is a real family owned coffee farm in Colombia, the owners were so warm and gracious and gave us detailed overview of coffee production, from bean selection to roasting and making the perfect cup. We picked beans in the rainforest.. and tasted many beans & learned the aromas, the coffee is unlike anything you have ever had and it is just so fun. I’m back in Florida drinking coffee I bought on the tour. 5 stars, will go again,

Summary: This was a super experience - very extensive (3 to 4 hours) and completely immersive. Lots of information but totally hands-on - I've never spent so much time trying to make the "perfect" cup. We used scales, grind settings, filters, drip systems, water pouring techniques, roasters and changed things up to see how that would impact the taste. Plus time down in the finca picking beans (it was harvest time) and appreciating the beauty of the area. Bilingual Spanish and English owner/tour operator. It's in a rural area so you need your own transport, or just get a willy or bus from Filandia toward Paraiso. Fully recommended!

Summary: We just had an amazing coffee tour with Mauricio and Lina at Recua Coffee Tour. Who knew there was so much to learn about coffee? Simply fascinating. The tour was highly interactive and the time flew by. We got to participate in every step of the process and now I finally understand what goes into making a great cup of coffee. Plus I learned how to taste flavours on my tongue! I highly, highly recommend this tour. Plus it's very easy to get to, either by car or bus (with a very short walk) from Filandia.

Summary: We (two sisters, 22 and 25) went to the Recua Farm in the morning. It rained quite a lot but that didn't bother us too much. The host speaks very good English and he and his wife are super friendly people. We got to pluck, roast, and grind coffee beans, brew coffee, and drink it of course. We learned a lot about the process and the chemistry behind it and also got taught a lot about other plants and fragrance and aroma in general. The place is very pretty with a nice view, it's easy to get there by public transport from Filandia. We sort of had a private tour as we were the only ones that booked that day and we enjoyed that.

Summary: This was a very informative experience, Mauricio is an amazing coffee connoisseur, I learnt a lot about the different types of coffee and the process. However I would have preferred to see more of the real production. Thank you for your excellent service

Summary: I could’ve not asked for a better tour! Or rather: guided experience. Not only learned I a lot about coffee and its brewery, Mauricio reminded me furthermore to use my mind, to describe tastes on a more detailed level and to listen to the nature. I highly recommend this tour!!

Summary: The reviews do not lie. It was a truly great experience at this coffee tour! Mauricio and his wife were super attentive, personal and professional at the same time. We went with an open mind and not a lot of knowledge about coffee (aside from drinking it) and we finished enriched and inspired! 100% recommend this tour and do not forget to buy the coffee beans they produce.

Summary: What an incredible experience!!!! You can absolutely feel the love and passion for the coffee, land, and wildlife through that the hosts have through this tour. You learn A LOT about coffee and different local plants, always with humor and warm dialogue. There is also tons of hands-on coffee making (even roasting). Would absolutely recommend - just make sure you’re aware the tour lasts at least 3 hours!

Summary: What amazing time we have during this tour. Mauricio and Lina were very knowledgeable and show us around the coffee farm. We all left with a full understanding how coffee beans grow and what it takes to make a good cup of coffee. I also loved discovering all the different flavors that can be experienced when drinking coffee. This is a fantastic experience even if you are not a coffee lover. This tour is great for families and it’s very interactive as well.

Summary: Mauricio and his wife Lina were incredible hosts and tour guides. We started with a general overview of coffee, the farm, and a tasting. The conversation was in English and Spanish. We then walked the farm learning about different varieties of beans, plants, and the various other plants and herbs that grow there. Soaking in majestic views, new smells, and picking ripe beans was lots of fun. Our three kids (11, 9, and 4) were very engaged and interacted nicely with Mauricio and Lina. It was very educational (we now know the difference between fragrance and aroma!). Upon returning to the casita we enjoyed warm croissants with cheese inside and agua panela with lemonade. Then we peeled the beans and tasted the jello like substance around the bean. Mauricio had a separate pile of already dried beans which we then roasted over a period of 10-11 minutes, put through the grinder and tasted across three distinct brewing methods (Chemex, B60, and the traditional French press). Enough to say that it was outstanding! I’d recommend this tour to anyone looking for a hands on, educational, and personalized experience. If you’re looking for a Universal Studios themed park style tour this is not for you!
