Today started with 5:30am wake-up call, 6am breakfast, and we were in the road by 7:15am. We just left the Doka coffee plantation where the oldest wet mill in the country can be found. We learned all about the harvesting, drying, sorting, and selling of coffee beans. There was caffeine for ALL!!!
Did you know that Arabica beans required four hours of shade a day?!?!?! Me neither...
We are currently en route to the Poas volcano...stay tuned.
(This group pictured above won a race in which groups had to empty the bag of coffee beans and find three purple beans. Then, students had to give the three beans to the guide and return the remaining beans to the bag. I have never seen kids so excited to clean-up!!!)
Gracious Senorita Cuffee!
