Bogotá's Coffee Culture

There was a time when you couldn't get Colombian coffee in Colombia, but those days are gone. Today, Bogotá is leading the way, with top-notch cafés popping up all over the city where the beans are roasted in-house and knowledgeable baristas have a full bag of tricks, carefully teasing the best out of each grind with a brewing method perfectly suited to the varietal and regional characteristics. And when they are not brewing or drinking, passionate coffee buyers and baristas scour the country's small fincas, participate in training sessions, and invest in small farms to help them reach their great coffee potential.
