the coffee estate.

this past friday a group of us travelled to Coorg, a coffee growing region in the south of india.  we stayed at Honey Valley which is a coffee estate in the area.  Honey Valley was very relaxing, and i was able to talk to the owner of Honey Valley about growing Coffee.  I also took a bunch of pictures of the coffee growing process.

this first picture is of the coffee berries on the coffee plant.

now a closer look.

the coffee berries are picked by hand, then they are laid on the ground to dry in the sun.

this is what they look like when they dry.

the aerial view.

then once the Berry is dried, it is easy to open and see the Coffee Bean.
