Steve, so do you plan to stay in Colombia for some time?

Coffee: Colombian coffees are among my favorites, especially those grown in the mountains. In Colombia there are some of the best coffees in the world and those grown above 1500 mt (4500 feet) have at least half, if not one third the caffeine of the common western bar coffees. If you have a chance, try to find some coffee of the Geisha variety, they are usually very tasty and different from those we know.

I also tasted some excellent Colombian decaff. I am actively searching for decaffeinated coffees that are comparable in taste to the best caffeinated coffees, but that's not easy. I drink lots of decaff, and caffeinated only in the morning, and the variety with less caffeine.
