Love my coffee and love it even more now that I've seen your vlog and understand the incredible, labour intense process. Wow! Thanks to all the coffee growers ...hope they know how much their efforts mean to us coffee drinkers all over the world. Thanks too Eileen for another fabulous vlog. Sharing this one. Again!! Keep them coming.
It was incredible to see how much work goes into a single cup of coffee and now I appreciate it more too! I found it really interesting to learn about which countries consume the most coffee as well :) Glad you enjoyed the video!
I'm sipping on a cup of coffee as I'm rewatching this video of your visit to there. That does sound like a very neat and amazing place to visit, especially for a coffee connoisseur of extremely good coffee..
Thanks a lot! So glad you enjoyed learning about the coffee farm and production as much as we did! It was fascinating and one of my favourite experiences of our whole time in Colombia. I have an extra special appreciation for coffee now - so much goes into that perfect cuppa!
Who knew coffee was so cool! …..So interesting to see it from the tree (bush?) to the cup! I have new respect and learned a bunch…Thanks! Lulu’s a real cute dog!
haha yes she's SUCH a cute dog and stole my heart. I miss her! I'm glad you enjoyed learning more about coffee as I did. I can't believe it never grows in the same spot twice. Talk about a challenging plant to farm! This experience will always be in the back of my mind now whenever I have a cup.
Hola Giovanni! ¡Estás absolutamente correcto! Me encantó ese perro y todavía la extraño. Touring la granja y probar el café era una experiencia increíble. Gracias por comentar :)
Awww, the story of Lulu was super cute. What a sweet little dog. That VERY fresh coffee, fresh from being roasted & brewed sounded so very delicious to drink.
Hey beauty.. I am Colombian and I really like your demeanor and appreciate that you took the time to explain the processes of the coffee and to show a little piece of my country and its costumes. Definitely, the only way to give an unbiased opinion about a place and its people is to go and immerse in its environment for the longest time possible. In this way you'll be deft to comments and opinions of people that saw things in tv or hearsay. Love it.
Thank you for your kind comment. Visiting this coffee farm was one of my favourite days in Colombia and I loved Salento too. I agree that exploring for oneself is best, if possible. Happy New Year!
LOL love the "Covfefe Time"!!! This was absolutely fascinating Eileen and yes Lulu is adorable! I definitely have more appreciation now when I have my cup a joe with breakfast!!!
Hi Scott! haha couldn't resist putting 'covfefe' in there 😂. Lulu was just the best and I miss her! It felt like she adopted us! Cheers to your next cup of coffee! (I've already had three today....)
I am so glad that I was on my second espresso while watching this. I love Lulu! I'll adopt you! Great video! I learned so much. Great music, too! Thanks for the song links.
Isn't she adorable?! I miss her! I'm glad you were already caffeinated when you watched ;) Glad you liked the music! There were a lot of different songs in this one.
I grew up around Salento, just 30 minutes away! The funny thing about coffee in Colombia is that, having some of the best quality grains in the world, most of them are exported and we Colombians consume the low grade stuff. Instant coffee is very common, that's the way we had it for breakfast ( a spoon or two in a glass of milk).
Hey Brian! Wow, did you really? What a gorgeous area you grew up in! It's funny because we did learn that during our travels. In fact, we started drinking instant coffee ourselves! Cafe Quindío makes my favourite kind :) I've never tried it with a glass of milk though.
Eileen Aldis Yes, I loved living there. We still have our house and family there, even though I haven't been back in 18 years! I left with my sister in 1999 to New York due to the terrible political and economic situation in the country. You would never see a single foreign tourist during all those years. Colombia has been kind of a forbidden destination for decades. Things are changing very quickly lately. Thanks for visiting, and for the videos!
Yes, I think more and more travellers are making their way to Colombia and we really enjoyed learning about the transformation from many locals we spoke with. It's such a beautiful country :)
Lulu the fixer. :) This video did cause me to crave a cup of coffee. BTW ... you are an editing guru! The dialogue shorts separated with video overlays were a joy to experience. I hate to say it but Lulu is a hustler. She looks very healthy and appears to be experiencing a whole life. Hats off and three cheers for coffee and it nuances, Columbia and her people, and finally to your desire to travel and share your experience. Thank you, Eileen.
Hi Mylon! Lulu seemed like the mayor of the town. It felt like she adopted us! And thank you! But I have to give Marc a ton of credit - he's the real editing wizard! I hope you had easy access to coffee when the craving hit :) So glad you found it as interesting as I did. It really makes me appreciate everything that goes into that little cup.
Me encanta que muestren a Colombia de otra manera para nunca más crear terror de visitarnos no recordar ni narcos ni violencia ni crueldad sino dar felicidad cambiando el país en visión natural compañerismo sitios lindos lugares como museos parques pueblos gente que ama a su gente sin rencor ni venganza 🇨🇴✌️💐🙏❤️😀😘🌼🌸🍬🍭🎁😇⏳👍😁😀😁🇨🇴
amazing video, such a good explanation about all the coffee process and how hard are the conditions to the people who collect the coffee beans, I LOVE COLOMBIA ....!! Elleen congratulations for this amazing video.
So glad to hear that you enjoyed seeing the amazing process behind a cup of coffee! I LOVED visiting this farm and seeing all the hard work that goes into the farming and roasting. Colombia's a beautiful country :)
Here in Colombia an expert coffee collector earns and average of $5 dollars a day. They start at 6:30 am until they get tired rain or shine. They get paid by the kilo collected. In USA you paid and average of $2 to $4 dollars for a cup of coffee. This is what is called labor exploitation.
Such fun, Eileen. So glad you and Marc are continuing to find wonderful adventures since I met you in Puerto Escondido. Keep up the great filming... Angie
Hi Angie! It's SO wonderful to hear from you! I hope you're doing well since we saw each other in Puerto Escondido. Seems too long ago now! We absolutely loved visiting this coffee farm in Colombia and, of course, drinking fresh coffee was a bonus :) Thanks so much for commenting!!
Excellent Coffee!.... The reasons why Colombian coffee is the best coffee in the world, are because: 1.) The soil fertility is extremely good because of the volcanic soil. The mountains in Colombia are actually volcanoes, these volcanoes are dormant .... not active volcanoes.. 2.) and also because the coffee is hand picked... therefore the best coffee beans are picked from the plantations. Basically no industrial machines and or tractors are used at all. The coffee is actually picked by human beings... mainly picked by woman...
Hello, Yes, we learned about some of these things that make Colombia a great place for growing coffee. It's incredible to think of all the beans being picked by hand.
You guys make amazing videos! i like the camera shots, the editing, and most importantly the charisma. my wife is half mexican and I am colombian; however We haven't explored these countries the amazing way you guys have. thank you for inspiring us and keep up the good work! ps my favourite place that I have traveled is Canada (Alberta)
Hey Nicolas! Thanks so much! So glad that you're enjoying the videos :) It makes us happy to hear you loved visiting Canada so much, especially because Marc is from Calgary, Alberta! It's such an incredibly stunning province ❤️🇨🇦. If you've seen our latest vlog of the hike through Valle de Cocora I think you'll appreciate the t-shirt I'm wearing (borrowed from Marc haha) ;)
Wow this is awesome!! I’m actually looking into going to Colombia at some point, especially down towards Salento area, and Don Eduardo’s was actually one of the tours I was looking at! I’m so glad to hear it went well, and the process looks fascinating. I wonder what the best time to visit the region would be? Thank you for this video, can’t wait to see more!! 🙏🏼 ☕️
Wow, that's so perfect then! We loved the Don Eduardo tour and I'd recommend it. I'm not certain about the best time to visit but I'm sure they would. Salento was one of my favourite places we visited in Colombia ❤️ We made other videos there if you'd like to see more: bit.ly/ColombiaPlaylist Hope you have an amazing time if you make the trip! Please have some coffee for me ☕️😘
You would have LOVED it, Ron! I'll never forget that freshly roasted cup. I normally need cream in my coffee but this one was so good you wouldn't want to dilute it with anything :) I thought you'd get a kick out of knowing how Iceland ranks in coffee consumption too!
Hahahaha covfefe, I love that title! I wish I would have seen your Instastory with Lulu! That's such a sweet story. I want more Lulu updates (maybe that should be in the title -- it might get more clicks! Thanks JumpCut). Going to Columbia and going on this tour would be awesome! I'm surprised USA wasn't no.1 in coffee consuming. Another great vlog! Thank you for sharing! - Thania
Hey Thania! haha yeah, we couldn't resist adding 'covfefe' 😂 Lulu was the best! I've since heard from Timothy that she's doing well which makes me happy. It was indeed interesting to hear about coffee consumption all over the world. Glad you enjoyed the coffee tour as much as I did!
Hey Victor! Thank you! That's cool you were there in January - did you also tour a coffee farm? Yes, Colombia is beautiful :) I just looked up your city and it looks lovely.
Popayán has conserved the colonial architecture and spanish traditions as the Holy Week, it's even more lovely and popular in Holy Week. Cities as Villa de Leyva, Cartagena, Tunja, Barichara and Popayán are similar. No, I didn't but I took another tour in the Cocora Valley, my grandpa has a coffe farm so ....
Hi! Thanks a lot - so glad you enjoyed watching :) Unfortunately I never tried the aguapanela! I would've liked to but didn't see that many places to try it. I did see the panela in the grocery store though - at first I wasn't sure what it was. I did drink A LOT of coffee though!
if u come back to medellin talk to me and i show more of the city, and if u 2 wanna go to one paramo i can show u is 3 hours travel from medellin in a little town where i was born
People please don't argue about which countrys coffee is better.. You do know it depends in the soil, whether they pick it green or wait till is mature, the process of cleaning and drying and roasting, etc.. every little detail counts.. so is not the country but the process.. coffee is like wine grapes.. I'm not much of a coffee drinker everything I have tried at those big famous places😝😝😝.. however I know people who gets their coffee in the mail from their native country, hand picked and roasted by family members and oh.my what a difference, now that's something you can drink every morning..
I believe that yesterday, July the 11th, President Santos was hosting in Medellin the yearly convention of the Worlds Coffee Growers Association with delegates form coffee growing countries and governments from all over the world. This may not be relevant to your video but whatever, I think is cool. Keep up the good work, love your videos. Saludos.
Hey Arnaldo! We did visit Cartagena and loved it! It's such a beautiful place and I had one of my favourite days in Colombia there :) Those videos are coming really soon and I'm looking forward to sharing them with you.
@@EileenAldis Oh thank goodness! I played your video on a stream I run where we are flying around the world in a flight simulator. (I gave you all the credit for the video and let everyone know to follow you) My entire viewership was very invested in the puppy and loved your video. We are trying to show case great things around the world as we fly around. Great video and looks like you had a great time there
Hey Paula! No, we didn't but I miss her! I was happy to discover that she sleeps at Don Eduardo's and also gets fed there. She's very happy and I'm glad she befriended us :)
well as far as "fairly different" I don't think so, Canadian English is pretty much the same as American in terms of how it sounds, of course they have some British spellings and words that Americans usually do not understand like "loonie, "toonie" "tuck" among others ...also there are some varieties in the US like in the south, Boston or NYC but for the most part American English is pretty uniform and I'd say 90% same as Canadian...a fairly different accent would be British, Irish or Australian, now THAT is quiet different, I can't understand them sometimes :)
@@EileenAldis oh,ok,yeah, because coffee is the perfect partner for the cold weather lol. I like your video! Did u know u can also roast the Rice and make it a coffee rice? My grandma used to do that when I was little because we couldn't afford to buy coffee
@@CampingGuy haha yes it's excellent and cozy when it's cold and dark out....and, ok, every other time too ;) No, I've never had rice coffee! I'd like to try it though :)
Hi Roberto! We thought she was at first but then when she 'introduced us' to Timothy Edwards he told us that she stayed at his place. He said she's very independent and 'has no owner' per se, however, she'd belonged to the woman who owned the coffee farm before him and he had sort of inherited Lulu when he bought the farm. She goes off all around town and the countryside and does her own thing but she goes to be fed and sleep at Timothy's place. I was happy to know that she's well taken care of :)
Did this video make you want a cup of coffee?? ☕️
the colombian coffee sucks, Mexican coffee it tastes a lot better...what do you think Eileen Aldis.
Jose, why do you always compare Mexico and Colombia? They're both such unique and beautiful places.
Yes it is!!...I liked it so much. :)
Fantastic! :)
Eileen Aldis what about santarosa hotsprings is very close aroun 1 1/2 hour from salento
Love that town and Colombian coffee is the best
We loved Salento too! This was one of my favourite days in Colombia ☕️
Love my coffee and love it even more now that I've seen your vlog and understand the incredible, labour intense process. Wow! Thanks to all the coffee growers ...hope they know how much their efforts mean to us coffee drinkers all over the world. Thanks too Eileen for another fabulous vlog.

great video Eileen love the place and that's fresh coffee enjoy Colombia
Hey Vlad! Thank you! It's probably the freshest coffee I'll ever get to enjoy. It was unreal. I'm drinking a decidedly less fresh cup right now ;)
Awww, the story of Lulu was super cute. What a sweet little dog. That VERY fresh coffee, fresh from being roasted & brewed sounded so very delicious to drink.
This is a beautiful video! This place reminds me a lot of my home Country of Costa Rica
Thanks a lot, Gabby! I'd love to visit your beautiful home country someday! Costa Rica looks absolutely dreamy :)

The best coffee of the world
Delicious 😋

Nice video. You can grow a coffee plant up here (i'm in Wisconsin). Just keep it outside in summer/inside in winter. I don't drink coffee ..only tea.
Great vidrio, am colombian living abroad , but I got to have my colombian coffee every morning , greetings from huntsville alabama
Greetings to you, Oswaldo! That's awesome that you have your Colombian coffee - I get it :)
Fantastic Eileen!
Takk! I knew you'd appreciate hearing about Icelandic coffee consumption! ;)
Especially from a couple of Icelanders in Columbia!
No somos los primeros en Produccion pero si los Mejores ......💛💙💖 Aleluya por la gran Calidad de la Tierra Colombiana
Nos encantó visitar la hermosa Colombia y hacer videos sobre nuestras aventuras allí. :)
omg, i would be in coffee heaven!!! i didnt know vietnam produces coffee! ~sara
Hi Sara! Yes, it's quite a paradise for coffee lovers!
Iceland, Norway, Sweden and Finlands have great consumption of coffee because they use filters which means more coffee needs to be grinded
amazing video, such a good explanation about all the coffee process and how hard are the conditions to the people who collect the coffee beans, I LOVE COLOMBIA ....!!

Nice coffee coverage!
Eileen we Colombians, at least those of us from the coffee region, are big aguapanela drinkers. Hope you had a chance to try it. Loved the video. :)

Hey Danny! No, but they drink A LOT of coffee :) My family is Icelandic so I can verify that haha
@@EileenAldis oh,ok,yeah, because coffee is the perfect partner for the cold weather lol. I like your video! Did u know u can also roast the Rice and make it a coffee rice? My grandma used to do that when I was little because we couldn't afford to buy coffee
@@CampingGuy haha yes it's excellent and cozy when it's cold and dark out....and, ok, every other time too ;) No, I've never had rice coffee! I'd like to try it though :)

Is Lulu a street dog? :(
Hi Roberto! We thought she was at first but then when she 'introduced us' to Timothy Edwards he told us that she stayed at his place. He said she's very independent and 'has no owner' per se, however, she'd belonged to the woman who owned the coffee farm before him and he had sort of inherited Lulu when he bought the farm. She goes off all around town and the countryside and does her own thing but she goes to be fed and sleep at Timothy's place. I was happy to know that she's well taken care of :)
That's great! I was already feeling bad for her...
The Great nation of America is not even on the top 10 list for coffee consumption? this is BS
Cafè venezolano es el mejor
Creo que depende del gusto personal, como toda la comida y la bebida.
este quizo decir la mierda venezolana que comemos es la mejor.
