    1A pre-coffee tour city walk started with a surprise tuk tuk journey
    Which took us to the outskirts of townTo catch a beautiful morning birdseye view of JardinWe returned to Jardin in this lovechild of a shopping trolley and a coffin, but we arrived safely."Shadow" (we named him) followed us all around town including the church - complete camera hog.Julian's plantation. A working coffee farm of amazing quality1Australians take their coffee very seriouslyThe life cycle of a beanJonah beginning the cycleOk, not all Australians take their coffee very seriouslySearching for the perfect beanFound it!This was a decent endeavour to fill our baskets.. not just a few happy snapsThe fruits of our labour... We would've earned around 80cThe biggest haulThere was so much to learnAnd Julian was happy to share his secrets with us (happy on the inside)The beans after being de-husked and washedThis would make an awesome jigsaw puzzleA rare earthen pyramid on our drive back to Medellin.

    December 19, 2024 in Colombia ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C

    I get to play with a lot of alkaloids, but the one that is nearest and dearest to my heart is 1,3,7- trimethylxanthine aka caffeine. All good anaesthetists know that the only thing before A is coffee so to go all the way to Colombia and not visit a coffee plantation would've been criminal.
    There are many plantations around Jardin and Pablo took us to one of the best. The experience was fulfilling for the coffee snobs and fun for the kids. I'm now going to down a couple of beers and melatonins or I might still be up at 6am.    Read more
