Yari's grandpa works on a finca de café, so we were able to go visit.
This is Yari. She is explaining that today we will go to the coffee farm owned by Michael Janson (a known coffee brand) with our friend Jamie. Then, we will go for a picnic lunch by a large lake in the jungle. (Picnic pictures in next post).
The actual coffee trees were off this site, but this is where they dry and roast the beans. The dark strip are the beans still in the cherries. The cherries are red on the tree but turn dark when drying.
A worker will come and rake the beans periodically and the cherry shell will eventually shed leaving the green bean.
Drying beans.
I like every hat in this post.
