Potem pojechaliśmy na finkę Luger i zapoznaliśmy się z procesem zbioru, suszenia i wypalania kawy. Oczywiście na początek filiżaneczka świetnej kawy! Mogliśmy nawet mieć udział w przygotowaniu palenia kawy! Marlon, który był naszym gospodarzem na fince, to człowiek o dużej wiedzy i umiejętności jej przekazania. I ze świetnym poczuciem humoru 😄! W międzyczasie właściciel przygotował nam miejscową przekąskę. A na koniec mogliśmy się napić kawy, w której wypalaniu braliśmy udział. Rewelacyjne doświadczenia. A dla miłośników kawy wręcz obowiązkowe!”
