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 …

¡Qué buen video! Y sí, yo también ya tengo ganas de tomar una tazita…
lovely!
Gracias por disfrutar / compartir eso.
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!
Osito talentuoso!
Me diste caliente frios (y eso no se debe a la temperatura de hoy) con este video!!! Tantos recuerdos… de Costa Rica mi patria en el corazon. Verdad que tus amigos colombianos lucen igual de tiernos y adorables como mis amorcitos ticos y ticas. RE REBUENO tu video… tento en el tema, la forma de grabar, la edicion que el emocion que nos conmueves!
dido, en todos otros comentarios! GRACIAS (ademas… he pasado por los otros videos… el de LOMA y los grafitis tambien me impacto.
que TANTO talento! WOW!
Élizita xx
¿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?
Steven,
A veces cuando estoy en el metro o bus y me aburro, me pongo a pensar de todas las situaciones que te pudiera haber pasado cuando usaste disfrutar en vez de compartir. Y, claro, me rio mucho.
Te extraño chiquito.
Eliz. S.,
According to my math, there are about 47 or 48 videos to come until the end of the year.
elizita,
Muchas gracias por todo el apoyo. En serio.
xolo,
De la casa del cafetero? Desafortunadamente, no. Tuvimos que irnos de repente. Pero los campesinos de acá preparan su cafe con panela entonces tiene un sabor parecido al cafe de olla de México.
Ya he subido el video a dotSUB. Si me podrías hacer el favor de transcribir y poner subtítulos, se lo agradecería mucho.
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?
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.
Buen trabajo. Good job My friend!
How can I publish my videos?
