Artisan Colombian Coffee Tasting in Getsemaní

Step into Café del Mural, one of Getsemaní’s most distinctive coffee spaces, for a guided sensory journey through Colombian coffee, roasting, brewing, aroma, flavor, and storytelling. This experience is designed to help guests understand coffee as more than a drink: it is culture, craft, aroma, flavor, and ritual.

Led by a bilingual coffee expert, the session introduces freshly roasted artisan beans and several preparation methods from around the world. Depending on the day’s setup, you may explore techniques such as French press, Italian moka, Japanese siphon, or other brewing styles selected by the host.

The atmosphere is relaxed, intimate, and personal. Music, conversation, and local knowledge are part of the experience, creating a tasting that feels more like a cultural encounter than a standard workshop. At the end, guests receive a complimentary bag of artisan coffee to take home, either the house blend or a favorite selected from the tasting.
