Women by far make up the majority of workers on our coffee farms. They have a trained eye to spot not only the best ripe red coffee beans but also note any problems with a particular plant that may potentially have adverse effects on the entire field. Each plant is like a child with different amounts of beans ripening at a given time. If beans ripen and fall to the ground, they can cause damage to the entire crop. It is important to keep a close eye on the thousands of plants that cover the mountain sides of our growing areas. Each year we are planting more specialty coffees using the hand picked seed stock. Keep ordering from us as we introduce more and more variations on these rare plants. Each farm has its own set of characteristics.
