Café de Huila, el mejor para mí.
Nariño, cafés con mucha acidez, deliciosos.
Sierra Nevada, café orgánico de comunidades indígenas.
Cauca, café de altura.
Tinto colombiano por la mañana, nada mejor.
El Eje Cafetero, Caldas, Quindío y Risaralda, es Patrimonio de la Humanidad.
Visitar una finca cafetera en Salento, imperdible.
