ALEX IN COLOMBIA DAY 3 ☕️
Today started early with a tour of Finca Santa Bárbara, followed by a visit to Finca Juan Martín.
Alex walked through the coffee trees on both farms, seeing first hand how the crop is grown and harvested before it ever reaches a roastery.
From there, Jairo and the Banexport team gave a tour of their facilities, where they both process the cherries and sort the coffee parchment by size and grade.
Following this, the group cupped 32 coffees from the Cauca and Huila regions.
Seeing the trees in the morning and tasting the coffee by afternoon is about as close to “locally sourced” as it gets!
More tomorrow. 💚
