Taylor Swift is famous for singing. Cristiano Ronaldo is famous for football. Colombia is famous for coffee. That is how I explain it on camera, and then I went to see it for myself.
I visited a coffee farm with my Colombian friend Natalia, up in the mountains. There is a small house, a white car, a motorbike, flowers, grass, and then trees in every direction.
Three things happened that had never happened to me before. I saw a banana tree for the first time in my life. I saw a mango tree for the first time in my life. And I saw a coffee tree for the first time in my life. The coffee tree surprised me most, because it is small, and it is covered in beans, green ones and a few red ones. I took one, opened it in my hand, and stood there looking at it like a small child. I played with it. I am not going to pretend otherwise.
The mango tree did not go as well. It is huge, I wanted a mango, I started climbing, I got partway up, and the mango was still too far. I came back down with nothing and I was properly upset about it.
We also met Fernando, who works on the farm, and the three of us walked between the coffee and the banana trees while the sun went down. Orange sky, mountains behind it. One of the best views I have ever stood in front of, and I want to go back.
