What does it take to be a national champion barista? Prepare an amazing coffee right? Oh, it takes a whole lot more than that! We got the chance to chat with the enthusiastic Diego Fernando Campos, reigning 2014 Colombian barista champ (he’s also ‘Latte Art Champion’ 2011!) who plies his trade in Chapinero’s Amor Perfecto, a powerhouse […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Last week, I wrote a post about the growing specialty coffee culture in Colombia. But the real question is: “Where can I experience this?” If, like me, you are looking not just for a mind-blowing cup of coffee (because, let’s face it, sometimes I can’t tell much more than […]
I love coffee…I mean really adore it. I don’t need it to function (I don’t think I am in denial but who knows), but I genuinely love the flavor, the custom, the warmth. Well what better place to be living than the country that produces some of the best of the best. But, how many […]

Pereira is one of the three cities that make up Colombia’s Coffee Triangle. Like neighbouring cities Armenia and Manizales, Pereira is surrounded by stunning, varied scenery and boasts incredible natural resources. The city is surrounded by the Otun an Consota Rivers and looming over the horizon are the snow-capped peaks of Los Nevados National Natural Park. –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– […]
We were walking around the main square of Salento, a beautiful, traditional, colonial town in Colombia’s Coffee Region, with houses so colourful you feel as though you’re in a sweet factory. Children in identical outfits were running around the plaza, while old men wearing cowboy hats and denim stood in front of the village church, talking to each […]
So, I don’t know why, but I agreed to go on a trip to the coffee triangle with the adopted little brother I never wanted. Being Australian myself, I should’ve realised how annoying and uncouth my countrymen can be, but, I’m fairly notorious for making poor judgements (apart from going to Colombia, of course), so […]
