Coban, Coffee

Took a coffee plantation tour while I was here so you all know what goes into that cup of joe sitting in front of you. On the left there is a flower, to the right the berry. The berry is hand picked and then the seed (the coffee bean) is shelled out by machined. It is then soaked for a while to get the sweetness of the berry out. Then a selection based on density is done (with water as the medium) and the good beans are dried, needing to be raked every hour. A final hand selection is done for the best beans to be exported.
