Last week we went to a finca (farm) where coffee is grown and harvested. For all you coffee-drinkers out there I wanted to show you that there is quite the process that goes into your drink. I also apologize to those of you who know more them me about this process - if I am mistaken at any point please feel free to correct me.
1) The beans are picked by hand of the trees. They look like this: (kind of reminds me of the stuff we use at Christmas.
2) Next they are run through this machine which removes the outermost shell. (The red shell.) This is done in Honduras by hand. Notice the pile of shells in the background.
3) They come out looking like this. Then they are dried in the sun. After another machine removes the membrane that is covering the bean (that is why it is white.)4) Then it is roasted. The wood that is used and different factors affect the flavour of the bean.
5) Then it is either bagged and sold for you to grind - or it is ground a packaged.
6) You make coffee.
7) You drink it.
8) You enjoy it.
