Parchment evaluation


I am just returning from the Comarca where we have been participating in a Ngobe-Bugle coffee school. It is very exciting to see the people who traditionally travel great distances to harvest coffees in other countries taking a good look at their own coffee and learning how to get the best quality from their own farms.


I was honored yesterday with a Ngobe name, given to me by an elder woman in the community.

My name is Egida.


In these pictures we are doing a pre-selection of coffees based on parchment quality. Together, we selected the coffees that will go on for cupping.

"Egida"...what a cool and distinctive name! Is it a common first or given name for these people, or is is something special related to coffee?

What an intersting visit! I have the similar experience to visit this kind of place,not in the coffee plantation, but in the tea plantation. Enjoyed the wonderful view and impressed me a lot.
