Last year I returned from a trip to my hometown Cartagena, Colombia and I not only found the Real Estate Market in Cartagena sizzling, but also the coffee business – Juan Valdez style.

And this is because the National Federation of Coffee Growers of Colombia has finally decided to do more than just export the raw coffee and show the world the "Colombian Way" to drink coffee.

The place was packed with people from all over. Located next to a newly opened Coldwell Banker office and within a structure not 100% finished,  the lines were steady throughout the weekdays!

Packed myself with a few Juan Valdez souvenirs as well as a 6 months supply of coffee my favorite for 4 years now: Juan Valdez "Volcan".

This is an exquisite coffee flavor.. a most for coffee lovers. The good news for us in the USA: Juan Valdez is on the MOVE! stores opened in Philadelphia, New York, Washington DC and Seattle. I called the New York store and YES! you can order by phone!

Looking forward to a Juan Valdez Cafe near me in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
