You must do this tour, it is so wonderful - What a FANTASTIC experience, I cannot recommend this enough. This is a real family owned coffee farm in Colombia, the owners were so warm and gracious and gave us detailed overview of coffee production, from bean selection to roasting and making the perfect cup. We picked beans in the rainforest.. and tasted many beans & learned the aromas, the coffee is unlike anything you have ever had and it is just so fun. I’m back in Florida drinking coffee I bought on the tour.
5 stars, will go again,

Fantastic coffee experience - This was a super experience - very extensive (3 to 4 hours) and completely immersive. Lots of information but totally hands-on - I've never spent so much time trying to make the "perfect" cup. We used scales, grind settings, filters, drip systems, water pouring techniques, roasters and changed things up to see how that would impact the taste. Plus time down in the finca picking beans (it was harvest time) and appreciating the beauty of the area. Bilingual Spanish and English owner/tour operator. It's in a rural area so you need your own transport, or just get a willy or bus from Filandia toward Paraiso. Fully recommended!

This was simply a fantastic experience, highly recommended! - We just had an amazing coffee tour with Mauricio and Lina at Recua Coffee Tour. Who knew there was so much to learn about coffee? Simply fascinating. The tour was highly interactive and the time flew by. We got to participate in every step of the process and now I finally understand what goes into making a great cup of coffee. Plus I learned how to taste flavours on my tongue! I highly, highly recommend this tour. Plus it's very easy to get to, either by car or bus (with a very short walk) from Filandia.

Very good local and personalized experience - Very good local experience! It is a very complete coffee class tour, where we collect coffee seeds and review the process until we reach the bean, which we then prepare to serve. The staff very friendly and always very willing.

Lovely educational tour - We (two sisters, 22 and 25) went to the Recua Farm in the morning. It rained quite a lot but that didn't bother us too much. The host speaks very good English and he and his wife are super friendly people. We got to pluck, roast, and grind coffee beans, brew coffee, and drink it of course. We learned a lot about the process and the chemistry behind it and also got taught a lot about other plants and fragrance and aroma in general. The place is very pretty with a nice view, it's easy to get there by public transport from Filandia. We sort of had a private tour as we were the only ones that booked that day and we enjoyed that.

Excellent - This was a very informative experience, Mauricio is an amazing coffee connoisseur, I learnt a lot about the different types of coffee and the process. However I would have preferred to see more of the real production. Thank you for your excellent service

More than just a tour - I could’ve not asked for a better tour! Or rather: guided experience. Not only learned I a lot about coffee and its brewery, Mauricio reminded me furthermore to use my mind, to describe tastes on a more detailed level and to listen to the nature.
I highly recommend this tour!!

coffee beans - It was very far from our hotel, we had to take a taxi that dropped us off at the door of the hacienda. It became very long because the complexity of the explanation was too technical for groups. As it rained, they took us to a bar and left us there without offering the possibility of waiting for it to stop. We don't feel quite tired. Find something close to your accommodation, it is very far from everything
