Our Final Day in Turrilaba was spent was spent first visiting a Costa Rican Coffee Plantation. We were once again amazed by our guides knowledge of the process of coffee making from the seedling of the plant all the way through to the roaster. He also explained to us how the different qualities of coffee are determined and seperated from one another.
The trip ended with a coffee tasting where you could taste the difference of first quality and second quality coffee. One of the most amazing things about the coffee plant we visited was the amount use they got from each plant trying to make the farming practices more sustainable. Some examples were using the older bushes to heat the incinerators necessary for part of the coffee processing, as well as using the final composting as fertilization for future plants.
