After settling into our rooms and taking a short nap, we were greeted by one of our partners from Chica Bean, Josue, who then took us down to the coffee shop for some breakfast. We tasted the coffee, and it was indeed very tasty, as was everything we were served. Aleesa was present but volunteered to take the picture.... Maybe she could've taken a selfie
¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
After breakfast, Josue showed us around a bit more, specifically the roaster, which is where we will be implementing our decaffeination system. This turned into a mini tour, and Josue went into detail about their roaster, which is unique to Chica Bean since it is self-made. We got to hear more about Chica Bean and their story, and it's really amazing how far they have come.
We will be checking some of the material Josue looked into for us to confirm if it will work for our system but there won’t be much going on after that. We will also be going out to do some grocery shopping and maybe get a peek at Santa Lucia. Stay tuned for tomorrow as we will begin our implementation.
