El domingo pasado Gabriel me llevó a La Sierra, una comunidad aquí en Medellín con vistas hermosas del valle y con una historia triste de violencia. Un amigo cafetero de Gabriel nos enseño como hacer el cafe. Espero que lo disfruten. Yo voy a buscar un espresso …

Wow, what a great video! I admit my Spanish isn’t great enough to pick up all that was said, but I got the idea. I think. I hope there are more to come!

¿Y probaste el café de allí?
Me gustaría usar esto en mi curso de comida y cultura. ¿Piensas en poner subtitulos en inglés? ¿O me puedes indicar cómo hacerlo?
Using
Ya empecé, pero estos días tengo tanto que hacer que me voy a tardar un rato.
La proxima vez que viajes para tomar peliculas tienes que ir a México donde hablan más claro.

Esa gente es un árbol de aprendizajes.

Great video – it was enlightening to see the evolution of coffee before it gets to me. I didn’t catch all of the Spanish…. is that how small producers do their coffee, or are they selling to larger companies after processing?
Using
xolo,
Si les dices a los Colombianos que no hablan tan claro como los Mexicanos, se van a reír mucho.
LuisCarlos,
De acuerdo. Y después de trabajar todo el día como cafetero, baja al centro de la ciudad para trabajar las noches de vigilante.
Greg,
Good question. I wanted to fit that clip in, but I was trying my hardest to keep this movie under 5 minutes (which I failed at.). There is a state-owned company which buys all coffee in Colombia. And they set the prices for “domestic”, “select”, and “organic.” I have no idea how they deal with so-called “free trade” coffee, but I think it would make a fascinating investigation. He told me that coffee for export goes for about 3,500 pesos a kilo ($1.75) and domestic coffee goes for about $1,500 ($.75). So when we buy a bag of Peet’s coffee (1 pound) for $10, we’re paying about 20 times the price that your average coffee cultivator gets for doing all of the work shown in this video.

I wonder what the effect on the final cost of that bag of Peet’s would be if they tacked on another $0.25 per kilo which would prolly make much more a marked difference on their end. And while I’m at it, I also wonder what the price breakdown is for Kenyan coffee. I’m a big fan of the stuff. Not a big fan of the price.
Very nice video.
Using
Buen trabajo. Good job My friend!
How can I publish my videos?
