"Britt" coffee tour

I had no idea how complicated it is to process good coffee. The work is done by hand, not machine - each bean is picked only when it is ripe. But that is just the first part of a long process of separating the different layers of the bean to finally arrive at the 'coffee bean,' drying takes several days in the sun, and finally roasting them in a special oven for their light, medium and dark flavors. It was a wonderful experience as well as an education. The tour included a buffet lunch that was delicious with fresh tropical fruits and, of course the best coffee!

I am leaving now to visit a market.
