Coffee

Yesterday I was able to go to a coffee plantation for a cultural event. It was a real good trip. When we got there we got on these vehicales which took us up the mountain.




On the way up we had a really nice view.





I found out coffee beans are actually seeds and are red when they are ripe. They have a small amount fruit on them that you can eat.





After we visited the coffee fields they also had some with coco trees. Coco beans are also seeds from a fruit. When It is ripe it is purple. Coco seeds also are purple on the inside and taste like bakers chocolate, but the fruit tastes good.
