Today, I watched a short documentary from PBS called "Coffee From Bean to Cup." This video is from Feast TV showing coffee goes from the mountains to your cup.
The host, Cat Neville, heads to El Salvador to see how coffee is grown. The coffee is grown in the volcanic mountains.
The owner of the coffee farm discussed how the economic prosperity of the coffee farm has helped employees. The employees used to take the bus and now they can afford to get motorcycles.
Each day during harvest season, the farmers go up the mountain. There they will pick only the best cherries. Then the trucks carry the cherries down to the mill. The higher up the mountain, the higher quality the coffee is.
The coffee is processed and dried. Then it is bagged up and sent to where the roaster wants it. The roaster tastes the coffee every week to see how they are going to roast it.
