Well, we are back in the day-to-day life of the stores. We will continue to post on the blog once per week with more pictures and stories from our trip to Costa Rica, so please make sure to continue to check back and add your comments.
Today, Canada gets ready for the Opening of the Olympics, where we celebrate the best in the world in a variety of different pursuits, so I thought that I would share some pictures of the best COFFEE in the world as well as a few anecodotes from our time in Costa Rica. The pictures with this post are of one of the branches of the coffee tree that I got to pick while I was there...my shoulders are still a bit sore from all of the work on the farm that day! As well, the other picture is from the nursery where the seedlings are nurtured for eight months until they are ready to plant on the coffee farm where they will live the rest of their lives. As with the Olympics, the final result is the end product of years of preparation! The quality of the coffee and taste that ends up in the cup is very reliant on all of the practices on the farm...once the cherry is picked, we can only maintain (or take away from) the quality of coffee that we brew. Hundreds of hands and hearts touch this coffee before we drink it, similar to the thousands of hands behind the Olympics!! More to come.....PS - GO CANADA!
