However, we often don’t take the time to think about how much work goes into every single bean to create the final product that has become essential to some many of us and that we use daily to sustain us in our busy lives. So, make the most of your time in Antigua, and go to visit one of the most established and respected coffee producers in the country.
The tour takes you from the city of Antigua out into the extensive coffee fields just 20 minutes away from here. Walk through the rows and rows of shade-grown trees and admire the beauty of the fruit. Depending on the time of year you will be greeted with either the enchanting perfume of the coffee flowers, see the women painstakingly picking the ripened fruit, or see the coffee in its full grown stage. The next important step in the process is the deshelling and drying, and finally, the roasting. Here is the roastery you will get to taste what has often been described as “the best coffe I’ve ever tasted”, fresh out of the oven.
