About this Course
Before the coffee maker, there is the farm
What makes a coffee truly exceptional? The answer begins long before roasting or brewing — it starts at the farm.
In this course, you will travel to the heart of Colombia’s Coffee Region to discover how climate, altitude, soil, and the work of coffee growers directly shape the quality of every cup. Across 11 chapters, you will explore the complete coffee cycle, from the plant to commercialization, understanding the agronomic decisions, harvesting methods, processing techniques, and standards that define specialty coffee.
Guided by Raúl Pérez and Karlos Calvo, you will experience a unique immersion into the origin of coffee, learning to interpret everything that happens before the bean reaches the roaster. Essential knowledge for baristas, roasters, buyers, hospitality professionals, and anyone who wants to understand the true value of specialty coffee.
By the end of this online course, you will be able to:
- Understand the full coffee cycle — from cultivation to commercialization
- Identify the factors that determine specialty‑coffee quality
- Differentiate species, varieties, and processing methods based on their impact in the cup
- Evaluate the agronomic and human work behind each origin
- Select coffees more thoughtfully to offer a better customer experience
