I'll have a look for the coffee, I must admit I find Colombian coffee very bitter and went back to instant granules (like 90 percent of Colombians) last year when I found it messed with my mood, after three tintos I could get very cross for no reason.
Funny you mention sancocho degallina as we are in our first finca neighbourhood "sancochoff".
My father in law is doing his respectable beans, platano smoked pork and beef outside on the fire vs me doing what is really a chicken, sausage and dumpling stew. Check the bay leaves, fancy for here.
I have cracked the secret, Colombians like anything that has a smokey taste (proper sancocho is cooked on a wood fire) so I will be burning some sticks like a Michelin smart bollock chef to suffuse smoke into mine later.
It is really just an excuse to feed a couple of families nearby, they are suffering now with the lockdown. But I think when it comes to a hearty winter stew, Irish have the edge

Always found it funny how lots of central & S. America have the best coffee beans in the world & like 90% just drink Nescafe. I'll be honest, Nescafe beats like 70% of the stuff I drink brewed so can't exactly fault them for the convenience.
