My sister and her husband were with us on holiday in the area.
My husband and I previously visited a coffee farm in KZN and wanted to share the same coffee-experience with them, because my sister is a coffee-lover.
Arriving on the farm the estate seemed abandoned. As we decided to leave a young lady came out and we asked her how much it would be for a tour. She advised that it was for free and that she will call the owner.
After waiting about 25minutes in bitter cold weather of 12 degrees, Brigitte came out and start telling us about all their personal problems.
During the “tour” she seemed not to know much as she couldn’t even find the small coffee plants until we showed it to her.
Before the end of the “tour” she asked if we would have some coffee and Austrian cake. At the KZN farm coffee was part of the tour and we accepted that here we would have to pay for the coffee and cake.
During the “tour” she took a cellphone call which lasted quite some time and then she took some more time telling us more about their personal problems.
The small coffee plantation was full of weed and the machinery was rusted and did not look well maintained.
Overall the farm looked run-down and not like a fully operational coffee business.
After the “tour” she showed us to a table in an open deck. We waited for about half an hour in the cold and heard how she was swearing using Jesus’ name.
We had a choice of strong or mild coffee and with the lukewarm coffee came, to our surprise a Menu. The menu indicated the cost of the tour as R100-00 per person and an additional R30-00 for each coffee and small piece of cake.
When we told her that we were informed that the tour was for free, she turned her eyes upwards and graciously gave us a 10% discount.
We also bought 2 coffee tins for R60-00 each and afterwards saw that one was a used tin.
For an amount of R600,00 (excluding the tins) this was a quite a disappointing experience especially when compared to the visit to the estate in KZN.
Their advertisement is unfortunately misleading:
“Visit one of the larges coffee farms in South Africa, 25km from Graskop. Tastes different coffee blends from other coffee growing areas at their coffee tasting facility and learn how coffee experts taste and evaluate the characteristics of coffee, similar to the way this is done with wine”.
There was only strong and medium coffee to choose from (no different blends) and no mention of how coffee experts taste and evaluate the characteristics of coffee.
