The experience
I didn’t expect the first thing I’d notice at the hacienda to be the smell. It’s not just coffee, but this earthy mix of wet leaves and wood smoke. We were only 25 minutes from Medellin, but it felt like we’d landed somewhere older and slower. Our guide, Juan (he’s part of the family), waved us over to a grove where beans were drying in the sun. He handed me one, still sticky from the cherry, and grinned when I hesitated before popping it in my mouth. Not sweet, kind of grassy. I guess I thought coffee would taste like coffee at every stage, but nope.
We wandered between rows of trees while Juan explained how his family’s been growing here since the 1800s. He pointed out a bird I can’t remember the name of (I nodded anyway), and his aunt called us in for lunch with this bell that sounded like it belonged in another century. The kitchen smelled like cilantro and something roasting. We ate chicken with salad so fresh they said most of it was picked that morning. There was homemade juice too, tart and cold after walking in the sun. I tried to thank them in Spanish. Got a laugh from Juan’s mom for my accent.
The actual coffee tasting was quieter than I expected. No big show. Just us around a wooden table, trying different brews while someone’s uncle told stories about picking beans as a kid. The city skyline shimmered way off in the distance through banana leaves. Honestly, I keep thinking about that view whenever I drink coffee now: how close everything felt there, even though we weren’t far from Medellin at all.
