The Coffee Visits


In the past two days our group has visited two coffee plantations. Yesterday (Wednesday) we travelled to the province of Cartago to tour a small, organic coffee farm owned by two Americans. It was called Cafe Cristina and they grow and mill thier own special blend of gourmet beans. The tour itself wasn´t exactly thrilling, but it did offer some interesting insight in the coffee making process. After the tour we went to the most important cathedral in C.R. and had a good lunch afterwards. Here are some pictures.


Today (Thursday) we travelled to a coffee plantation called Cafe Britt, in the province of Alajuela. This was much different than the farm we saw the day before. Britt is the largest coffee company in Costa Rica and it showed in thier process of operations. The tour was given by three people who gave funny and informational monolouges and skits. After that we ate at a nice restaurant connected to the plantation and it was very good.
