A great coffee plantation we visited in Antigua was the Filadelfia Coffee Resort & Tours. A remarkable hands-on tour from the nursery where the 6 inch coffee plants are prepared for early growing until transplanting into the coffee plantation.
Next, was the trip out into the coffee plantation and the picking of the " red cherry " and bursting it open to find a white mushy pulp, surrounding the actual coffee bean... this pulp was very bitter. The day we were there they had their pickers in the fields gathering the cherries/beans. The beans are then spread out onto large cement area's ( like parking lots ), where the beans are air dried by workers with large brooms, rotating them.
The full day coffee plantation tour, ended back in the tasting room where we were treated to a variety of expresso/coffee drinks made from their beans. Highly recommend this tour and explanation of the Guatemalan Coffee.
