In Costa Rica the, coffee is
traditionally hand picked.The
harvest goes from mid-December to in mid February, and thousands of
Nicaraguan migrant farm workers fill the fields. With special care,
workers take only completely ripe cherries from the plants for our
gourmet coffee. Thus, we guarantee a consistently superior quality
of bean for further processing. The harvest of only mature cherries
assures you of a difference in our gourmet coffee that you can
taste.

The wages of the coffee pickers
are specified in Costa Rica by the government, before the beginning of
each harvest. Coffee-picking
is not as beautiful as it appears in some advertisements and
commercials.Instead, it
is hard, hot work, to pick a basket of ripe coffee cherries.

A good worker picks 7-12
baskets a day, depending on the number of ripe cherries remain in the
fields. The coffee
is transported on the same day in the afternoon from the farm to the
factory for processing.
