Hand sorting coffee

Ethiopian Coffee sorting

When I open a fresh 60kg bag of coffee, I marvel afresh at the number of individual beans there are in a bag (I’ve no idea exactly how many, but it must be in the 100’s of thousands).

For a bean like Ethiopian Harar, every one of the cherries those beans formed in would have been hand picked, and the little video below (via Sweetmaria’s ) highlights just how much work goes into giving me that beautiful, wild, fruity elixir.
