Did you know that each "coffee cherry" for your high grade "speciality coffee" is hand picked, cherry by cherry......and then hand washed...
...and then dried...
...and then hand inspected and sorted bean by bean,
...numerous times?
These women are paid almost (not quite) $1.50 per day to assure that no bad bean makes it to your cup.
And I mustn't forget to mention the lab testing and taste tests by the Coffee Czars, my friends, Jay and Todd and James, who are working with the newly established Rwanda Trading Company to improve the lives of the poor in coffee production, while delivering to you the very best cup of coffee,... and special joy to Michelle Black and Dan Bradford and their cohorts.
