Cafe Britt













Today, we decided to check out Cafe Britt, one of the main coffee producers in Costa Rica. We sampled many different types of the aromatic drink, all with different flavors and smells. We also tried an assortment of the rich chocolates they sold such as coffee beans covered in dark chocolate and orange and passion fruit chocolates. All of these were amazing. After picking some coffee and chocolates from the shop, we wandered around a small field overflowing with coffee plants. There, we learned how coffee is made. First, they harvest the bean which is a reddish color when ripe. Then the beans are left to dry in the sun. Next, the dry beans are husked and finally, roasted and ground up into coffee. The coffee was fabulous, the chocolate was extraordinary, and we had a blast.

Hoy visitamos el Cafe Britt, una de las mayores procecadoras de cafe en Costa Rica. Probamos muchos tipos diferentes de cafe, todos con sabores y olores diferentes. Tambien probamos un surtido de chocolates como semillas de cafe cubiertas con chocolate y chocolate de naranja y parchita. Todos eran increibles. Despues de elegir muchos productos de la tienda, caminamos en un campo donde hay muchas plantas de cafe. Aprendimos como se produce el cafe. Primero, se cosechan las semillas cuando estan maduras. Entonces, se dejan los granos al sol. Despues, los granos son separados y finalmente, se tuestan y se muelen. El cafe era increible, los chocolates fantasticos y nos divertimos mucho.

  2. Here i the good old USA, you'd be way to young to drink coffee, you lucky guy. It must be amazingly aromatic. I love the pictures, too. Love, Nanny
