Let go of what has passed, let go of what may come.
“Let go of what has passed. Let go of what may come. Let go of what is happening now. Don’t try to figure anything out. Don’t try to make anything happen. Relax, right now, and rest.” ~ Tilopa
So interesting to see this process first hand! Which one was your favorite cup of coffee?
The fresh coffee was delicious! The five little piles in front of our guide are actually all the same type of bean. The first is the ripe red fruit, then the bean after its dried, then after the shell is removed (they actually use a mortar and pestle!), then the roasted bean, and the ground product. We learned so much! Like if the fruit is sweet, the coffee is, too; and if the fruit is not sweet, the coffee is bitter. The process in Colombia is so cool because they are not allowed to use heavy machinery so they employ many people to pick the beans and do everything by hand!
Hand picked, hand made! So interesting, thanks for sharing 🙂
