The experience was great! My guide was very knowledgeable and passionate, spoke great English, and I got to learn how to taste different notes in different coffees. The experience was also beginner friendly, giving you new knowledge without expecting you to have a coffee background. I was also treated with a coffee and pastry at the end of the tour which were great. Would definitely recommend this experience to anyone who has an interest in the background of the coffee they drink, and to be treated with great service!

I booked this as was landing at 4am and thought it would help keep me awake. I am so glad I did! The session was extremely informative without being too technical, and you’re really guided on the process. Super friendly and knowledgable team. Best of all you get to drink all the delicious coffee you could want! Definitely recommend this it’s great value for money and something more unique to do in the city.
Wonderful coffee tasting at Divino Cafe. Jason is very knowledgeable and made the experience fun, very interesting and memorable. I learned a lot! I highly recommend the coffee tasting!
A fun and informative way to start the morning. Jason was knowledgeable and kind despite me knowing nothing about coffee. It definately made me want to explore the world of speciality coffee.
This coffee tasting experience really taught us a lot about coffee, how to taste it and identify different aromas, brewing techniques and what to pay attention to when buying coffee overseas. We thoroughly enjoyed this tasting that is organised in a lovely quiet room of the Divino Cafe. Comes highly recommended!! If you are a coffee addict you can definitely skip on your morning coffee before the workshop as you will get to taste a lot of high-quality special coffees. A true discovery and must in Bogota!
Leandro is a pro! He brought such knowledge and enthusiasm to this experience it was great. I loved how he took time to explain the history, the process and made the whole experience totally interactive (not just the drinking of the coffee!). This was the very first experience I had when I arrived in Bogotá and it really set the pace for my entire trip.
My tour was canceled at 8:30 p.m. when the tour was supposed to happen the day after at 9:00 a.m. I made many Arrangements and I'm flying out the day after. These people are not reliable watch out! I am trying to get my refund now... good luck to me.
We booked a coffee experience with Leo and had a wonderful time! Leo is incredibly knowledgeable about coffee in the region and in the world from his own experience as a coffee farmer and producer. My boyfriend and I did a coffee tasting with 3 different types of beans in 3 different brewing methods. They also served a delicious caramel torta during the experience. Leo speaks great English and he was not difficult to understand, however he does have a fairly thick accent so this experience would be best for people who are skilled in understanding English through a Latino accent. Daniel, the barista at the cafe was also super friendly and helpful, answering tons of questions we had about different types of brewing methods when we had popped in for a cup of coffee the day prior to booking our tasting experience. For coffee lovers, this experience is worth every penny! Definitely not to be missed if you are in Bogotá !
Perfectly named - Coffee Tasting Experience. I will never look a cup of coffee the same. Leandro passion and knowledge of the whole coffee process from the bean farm to roasting to difference methods of making a cup of coffee was truly eye opening experiences.
A fabulous 2 hour Caffine fueled pleasure. Leandro was brilliant. At least 5 different coffee tastes and an explanation of fragrance, aroma and taste. I never knew there was so much to it.
Daniel was an amazing host, making sure all the questions about coffee were answered. The overall experience was better than expected, the very high quality coffee was the star. In my case, it was a very small group of people which made the experience more personal and enjoyable.
We turned out to have a private class with Daniel - our visit was longer than planned, but Daniel was very open to all of our questions and didn't seem to mind. We tried out 4 different coffee preparation methods and got a delicious piece of cake that complimented the coffee really well. We learned a lot and it was also great that Divine is located in Candelaria! :) Definitely recommend if like us you don't have time to visit the coffee farms but still are looking for a way to learn more about coffee in Colombia.
We had a lovely time and learned a lot. Small intimate setting with lots to taste and do. Highly recommend this experience.
Amazing morning with Leandro. We all learned so much. His passion for his products and his knowledge is second to none. He was such a pleasure and was so flexible with us as our numbers kept changing. Highly recommend for anyone who loves coffee. It was equal to a very high end winery tour.
This experience completely changed coffee for me. Exquisite service, coffee, and educational experience. I recommend this café 100%. No gimmicks. No themes. Just coffee and utter bliss. The baristas know wat they're doing!
The best coffee experience I have been to. Never thought I would learn a lot about coffee. Leandro is a professional but makes an effort to describe everything to non professional people like me. And the coffee is soooo good. Highly recommend it
Awesome experience! From the start to the end, the tasting experience was great. We're now able to differentiate different smells, aromas, tastes in our coffee(s). Very intimate, great products and atmosphere. Would recommend 200%!
Leandro led a wonderful experience and I really enjoyed learning all about Colombian coffee from him. I have a deeper appreciation for the process behind coffee - from the altitude the beans are grown, the smell of the grounds with and without water, of course the taste, and the brewing process. Leandro is passionate and knowledgeable and treats you like a king.
All the other reviews are spot on. Leandro is a really nice guy, and passionate about coffee. It was a wonderful experience. I've seen other coffee tours, but this one was perfect for me. It was a very personable experience. I learned a lot from Leandro and had some wonderful coffee, which he helped me appreciate on another level. I'll try to implement some of the insight he passed on, when I get home. Warning: This will ruin Starbucks and other lesser coffees for you! (but that's a good thing)
We had an amazing experience at Divino Cafe Especial! While traveling in Colombia I wanted to know more about coffee and wanted to understand more about what I drink :) This workshop with Leandro was the BEST! In a short time he made us understand about coffee, the flavors, how to choose quality coffee outside anywhere around the world, how to prepare a good coffee at home and more... Leandro didn't just gave us the information, he really made us think by our self in the tasting time, so we could learn and decide what's good and what's not. It was informative, fun & delicious!
Leandro's coffee workshop was amazingly deep and interesting! Happy to further contribute to local growers and keeping in touch!
What a fantastic way to learn more about coffee! Leandro was a fantastic host, and we thoroughly enjoyed spending time with him. My husband is a hard-core coffee lover and had the best time. I don't drink coffee, and loved it as well. Great experience!!
What an incredible experience this was! Me and my dad wanted to learn a little more about coffee and have the opportunity to taste an authentic colombian coffee and that is exactly what we got! It was amazing to us to see all the different ways you can prepare coffee and how different they taste with the same bean! Highly reccomend to anyone looking for a real experience of fresh coffee! Leandro is the nicest guy and will answer all your questions!
Really informative coffee tasting experience with Leandro. Learnt a lot about the different tastes and aromas of coffee and the effects that different serving techniques have on the flavour. Will definitely be reviewing the way I serve up my coffee in the future! Leandro’s coffee is some of the best I’ve tasted too...so the trip is great value as well...highly recommended!
This was well worth the trip into La Candelaria for an outstanding coffee tasting experience. Leandro spoke in both Spanish and English for my group. It started with us doing tests between low quality widely sold commercial coffee versus quality roasted and processed coffee. Even going through the infamous SBux Barista training experience, I learned more here about coffee in 2 hours than a week in their immersion training. We tested the coffee fragrance, aroma and taste.. and I learned that coffee that I thought was actually pretty good, was actually the mass produced lower quality.. pretty eye opening. Next we then tried the higher quality coffee being made in numerous ways (4 different processes) and it’s incredible how different each one tasted. Their quality coffee through the espresso machine was amazing, probably the best espresso shot I’ve ever had. We then purchased a few pounds of his small batch roasted coffee for the road, can’t wait to make it here at the house. Excellent experience well worth the time and very affordable. Plus, there’s tons of other things to see and do close to this place so you can have fun before/after. Thanks Leandro!
This is exactly what I was looking for in a coffee workshop/tasting. Leandro have expert knowledge in coffee, from the agriculture to the production and the final preparation of the cup of coffee. I’ve been in various coffee workshop/tastings in different countries and this is the best so far. Very informative and friendly material with lots of insights on achieving the perfect cup of coffee.
Informative and excellent coffee tasting experience! We enjoyed the explanations provided by Leandro about the many ways to prepare coffee. We appreciated his passion for his coffee! Definitely recommend for anyone who loves coffee or wants to understand the Colombian perspective of coffee making!
Definitely one of the best experience you can do in Bogotà. Colombia is the capital of the coffee and if you want discover all the secret and really appreciate it, you have to take this experience in Divino Caffè in Candelaria. Leandro knows a lot of things about the coffee, he can tell you the history, the process and especially he can teach you how to distinguish a good coffee. With this experience you can learn how to appreciate the coffee in only few hours and taste some very good ones. Leandro can also speak both Spanish and English and he is very kind and avaible to all your need and questions. Totally recommended!
I had a very good and interesting tasting at Jason's, where I was able to learn some new things. I definitely recommend it.
Very good experience. They told me the whole story of coffee and made me try different varieties. Super recommended!!!
Great experience, very good explanation of the work team, delicious coffee. Very good experience to live something different as a couple
Excellent experience, both for lovers of good coffee and for those who want to learn a little more about coffee: production, harvesting, way of preparation in various "café" and, of course, tasting some of the best coffee in Colombia. Sebastian was my guide on this journey, explaining everything with a lot of calm and knowledge on the subject. After that, I will never look at a cup of coffee the same way again.
Very good experience! The explanation was very interesting and the coffee delicious! I recommend group experience and buy coffee from the cafeteria
Excellent service and friendly staff. Especially from Jason. Very good explanation during the coffee tasting experience.
Equipo super atencioso. Explica la degustación e comparte varias recomendaciones de como elegir o probar cafes.
Many thanks to the barista Daniel, he explained to us in detail everything related to coffee, very friendly and now we can appreciate Mirna and Luca's coffee more
Excellent experience! Daniel has a lot of knowledge, is very didactic and attentive and, above all, is passionate about coffee. Great explanations during the tasting. Mandatory stop in Bogota for coffee lovers.
For those who like coffee and want to learn how to prepare and recognize a good coffee, this experience is a must! Daniel and Leonardo patiently explain various coffee making processes, but first there is a sensory experience that teaches us how to recognize a good coffee anywhere in the world. The only bad side is that after that you won't want to drink any coffee 😂😂😂
When you travel to Bogota do not miss this coffee experience, how much we have learned! 100% recommended. Thank you very much Leandro for the excellent experience and for sharing your knowledge and love of coffee. Ah! And take advantage and take a good Colombian coffee.
Simply excellent! Leandro is the owner, and Daniel barista, both with charisma that allows you to live an unforgettable experience. They are worth it, especially if you go for a few days, thanks to Leandro my knowledge and evaluation of coffee, will be absolutely different from now on. It's 3 hours of tasting, your desserts delicious, I assure you you will not regret it.
Wonderful experience! Leandro and his staff are very attentive. The explanation is super-enriching. And delicious coffee.
It was a very nice and enriching experience. Leandro has a history of his own and in relation to coffee, which we should all know. I recommend the experience completely.
Be able to taste different flavors, the excellent explanation about the preparation. It was my first visit and I loved it
Excellent experience. A very nice place to share with friends or families. Leandro is very warm and knowledgeable. Super recommended. Delicious coffee 🤗
Leandro is a person who knows very well about customer service, knows a lot about coffee and is a good transmitter of that information. The coffee is delicious, prepared by himself. The place is very nice
Excellent coffee tasting with a unique approach which allowed us to enjoy and learn as coffee aficionados. 100% recommend this coffee experience.
Leandro is a person who knows everything about coffee perfectly and explains it in the best way, of the taste is something that has no explanation really there is no other like it!!
The coffee tasting offered by Leandro is in my opinion the best in which I have participated, it deeply guides the whole topic of coffee and offers tasting options with the filtering methods that coffee has, very wonderful place and the appropriation that they have to give a person understand a topic is very good, highly recommended!
Being in Bogotá, and enjoying a good coffee is an indispensable visit to the Divino Café. Learn to know a good coffee. Know the various methods to better extract the taste and aroma of coffee. All packed in the pleasant prose of Leonardo. An unforgettable experience
Excellent service, very good coffee method and very rich cakes for an afternoon we will pass again
