About Coffee

I was born in a town in Oaxaca, Mexico. In that town, people used to grow their own coffee plants. They did this for a living. Unfortunately, there are now many problems with the growing process, like "Hemileia vastatrix," which is a fungus that affects the leaves of coffee trees. I remember doing the work of coffee recollection and spending time under the shadow of the trees. In my hometown, people love coffee. They drink it with certain plants, but they do not drink with milk or other things, as people in the cities do. For the people of my town, coffee is not just a drink, it's something fundamental to their community. The entire process, from recollection to drinking, is a way to discover what coffees really mean in life.
