Dear friends: this morning was quite the experience, we had the
opportunity to go into the coffee fields and pick the coffee berries
which is the fruit that contains the actual coffee bean. You can see in
the picture there are two different colored beans the red/purple ones
are the ripe ones and the green are the ones that are still growing, the
terrain that the coffee is grown is rocky, on hillsides under trees.
they plant the coffee trees under other shade trees because in full sun
the coffee plants will burn up. the coffee trees are anywhere from 4
feet to 15 feet, and produce coffee for roughly 25 years.
