A hot cup of coffee





Coffee grows in the gardens round here, and up the hillsides to 6,000 ft, as in this photo. When the berries turn ripe they are hand –picked, and dried out in the sun in front of the house. The beans are then husked by hand, and sold to our village agent at £1 per kilo. At the factory they are roasted, blended, and packaged to sell at £4 per kilo – a great cup of coffee!
