Sandhill Coffee — Guatemala RSS

More of what Guatemala has to offer. Checking out an active volcano.

Wrapping up my trip in Guatemala. Over the last couple days, I explored downtown Antigua and had the opportunity to go fishing in the Pacific.

My third day staying at Eduardo’s home started off with our regular homemade breakfast and fresh coffee. However, today only involved a little bit of coffee. The plan for the day was a cooking class and a cupping. Before the cooking class I had a couple of hours, so what do I do? Ask and you shall be given something to do. I got to help clean black beans – first time for everything! The beans were already harvested but we had to go through and remove all the small debris and broken beans. These beans are used food at the house. The way I was shown to do this was place an amount of beans in a large colander...

The first half of day 2 down in Guatemala. The next step in the coffee process, dry milling.

Quick glance into my first day on the coffee farm.
