Personally, I never knew how much work is involved from plantation to harvest... until we have a cup of coffee in front of us. A visit to a plantation, specially meeting the people who work in coffee farming, really makes you appreciate your daily cuppa much more! The coffee plantations are quite fascinating, Craig.

I remember Bernabe Cafe, for example, which is a place where the barista makes you smell the coffee beans before brewing and explains you the coffee history of the region, etc.. And we did have good coffee in other places, including Brunch de Salento (it was definitely not instant coffee when we had it and there offered free refills - you can tell it's run by Americans!). I wouldn't be happy with agua de panela either.. I also don't take sugar in my coffee, so I understand your point. I guess you just had bad luck! Gotta give Salento and its coffee a second chance sometime! ;) You didn’t have good coffee in Salento, really? :( We had tons of good coffee in town.

I'd love to one day visit the coffee plantations of Colombia, I'm a coffee addict so I may never want to leave haha! What a beautiful hotel.

I stayed in Las Palmas, a family run hostel. I liked it there, but the accommodation was definitely more rustic than the one you describe (that's what my budget allowed!). I wonder if solar panels to heat water would have worked back then, as it rained most of the time. The best part though it that in Colombia (and even in Salento) I hardly had any decent coffee. Another hostel I stayed in (Los Colibries) prepared poor quality regular supermarket coffee using agua de panela, turning the coffee into a nauseating sweet drink (I like my coffee with no sugar!), and most places in town served poor coffee as well. Brunch de Salento, despite serving delicious American food, went too far in being American and served nescafè! LOL! I was in Salento in February. I stayed in Las Palmas, a family run hostel.
