Coffee

    Ever wonder where your coffee comes from? I found out! These are some pictures of the Azotea coffee plantation near Antigua.
The short, dark green bushes are coffee trees!
Coffee cherries are picked by hand (the beans are inside).


The wheat colored stuff through those doors?

Coffee drying in the sun!

Coffee Beans
The roasting building

The finished product is bagged and exported and maybe even enjoyed by you!

The annual yield of one coffee tree equals 40 cups of coffee! 
How many coffee trees are planted here just for you?
