Coffee, is, dare I say, the staple of Colombia's drinking culture. It's not aguardiente, fiery liquor that burns when drank, or lulada, refreshing and citrusy though it may be, or even aguapanela, though it carries the warm promise of home as it spreads on your tongue. There is one drink that you can count on all Colombians loving, and this just happens to be coffee.
It's not just a drink, it's a cultural staple. It provides thousands of Colombians with jobs, weaving together an intricate tapestry of the coffee industry. Drinking coffee is the most positive way to start the day, and it's a drink that brings everyone, friends and family alike, together. It's our national identity, as we are quickly becoming known worldwide as one of the countries with the best coffee beans. We have specialized so much in bringing this experience to the world, from the dark, bitter tinto our grandfathers drink after lunch, to the milky latte (which, if you ask any self-respecting Colombian who likes their coffee midnight black, isn't really coffee anymore), that we have garnered worldwide attention as one of the countries with the highest quality of coffee.
This is why, whoever works in this industry, whoever keeps this fragment of our national identity alive, is a Colombian who carries our motherland not only on their minds, but deep in their very essence of being, in their veins and every day actions.
This is exactly why businesses such as Café Macanas are so admirable. Located in Jardín, they specialize in making artisanal coffee, with every step of the way highlighting the sacredness of this beverage. They aim to produce only the highest quality of this drink, handpicking each individual grain for the best sensory experience.
Their coffee is not only renowned, but their pastries and delicacies are all a call and reference to Colombian culture. Baked with care, each pastry highlights the history of this industry.
Its shop is a nod to Colombian tradition, as its bright colors and tiles immediately call for the viewer's attention. When visiting their shop, modernity and tradition blend together, ensuring you feel as warm and content as in a traditional Colombian finca while still feeling the dazzle of modernity around you.
Café Macanas highlights the importance of blending and integrating Colombian culture into a complete sensory experience. Visitors will indeed visit this coffee shop and feel the homey charm it has to offer, aside from fragrant, aromatic coffee and unskippable pastries that are sure to delight all kinds of people, no matter where they come from.
