Meet the Artist — Café El Balcón, Colombian Coffee

Connect with the people behind Café El Balcón, a family-run coffee operation based in Colombia's UNESCO-recognized Coffee Cultural Landscape. They grow their own beans on Finca El Balcón in Palestina, Caldas, and bring their Castillo Rosario variety to share with visitors. These beans are known for their smooth flavor profile, with notes of chocolate, raisin, caramel, and nuts. Stop by the Gardens' Gift Shop during this meet-the-artist event to purchase freshly sourced coffee beans directly and learn more about the people and place behind your cup. It's a straightforward way to support both local artisans and the Botanical Gardens. Whether you're a coffee enthusiast or simply curious about where your morning brew comes from, this is a relaxed opportunity to explore a small business with roots—literally and figuratively—in Colombia's rich coffee heritage.
