  1. It is sad to say this but the best Colombian coffee is in America and not in Colombia. You may occasionally find "export grade" coffee in Colombia, such as Juan Valdez, but in my opinion since you are already in Colombia, why not get what the locals drink? I also recommend Cafe Sello Rojo (it's a red bag with yellow stripes, if I remember correctly) it's what I always had when I lived in Colombia. I don't think Cafe Sello Rojo is export grade, but I think it is pretty tasty! Also, if you have a chance have a coffee prepared the old fashioned way in Colombia. In america people use coffee machines or french press or some of these methods, but when my grandma made coffee it was different: she had a pot that was only used to make coffee and the coffee sort of burned at the bottom of the pot and that built up with time more and more and believe me it gives your coffee a different, more rich kind of taste when prepared this way. If you ask for coffee at a restaurant this probably not how they will prepare it, but if you are say, sitting at the beach and it's just locals taking care of you, not some fancy resort or whatever (and you'll know it's the locals because they most likely will be living or working in shacks) ask them for a cup of coffee, they will probably make it the old school way.
