Coffee Coffee Coffee!

so hello hello amegos! i realise i have not updated you for a while with the current location. but i have been so far away getting to internet. right now i am sitting in the office of a major coffee producing factory in a country town called espirito santo do pinhal, in brazil. this morning we mountain-biked through the coffee bean plantations and got airborne a few times, but luckily stayed upright. there is this random kiwi guy (called 'peaches') who is the only international person living in this beautiful remote town, and thats how i found out about coming here. he has showed us around town for the last few days which has been great. he took us on a free tour through the warehouse just now to explain exactly how coffee is produced. its like charlie in the chocolate factory in there, and i felt like the fat german kid who was going to be sucked up the pipe cause he got to greedy. i was seriously in heaven. i climbed up the towers of coffee bean sacks and got to the highest one, and sat there for ages just in my own state of euphoria! you have no idea what goes into these beans. how much work, how many people contribe, how detailed the grading is of each and every single sack!!! can you believe that. ive always loved the taste and smell of coffee, but now, every cup i have will hold a new appreciation. amazing. EU AMOR CAFE!
