Diego is a coffee farm kid was living at Idma coffee region of La Convencion at the time I visited. He is not a coffee farm worker. Diego likes photography and was very curious about my camera. This coffee farm is full of Typica coffee plants. Surrounded by a river this farm has very steep slopes which makes it very slippery to walk around.
Coffee farming is a fascinating and intricate process that requires skill and dedication. The coffee plant is typically grown in regions with mild temperatures, fertile soil, and plenty of rainfall. The most common types of coffee plants are Arabica and Robusta. Arabica plants tend to produce higher-quality coffee beans, while Robusta plants are more robust and resistant to pests and disease.
Once the coffee plants are mature enough, they produce white, fragrant flowers that eventually give way to green berries. These berries take several months to ripen and turn red, at which point they can be harvested. The harvest season usually lasts a few months and requires careful attention to ensure that only the ripest berries are picked. This process is often done by hand, which can be labor-intensive and requires a skilled eye to spot the perfect berries.
