Our SCE Academic Computing coffee of the day today is Cafe Britt Dark Roast, and it was excellent. Jason made a great pot of this Costa Rican coffee this morning, and we went through this pot very quickly. Lately the comment has been that we take our geography lessons and travel the globe simply with a bag of coffee beans. I actually traveled to Costa Rica and bought these beans while I was there, so for me it was truly a geography lesson along with traveling across the globe. My first step off of our tourbus at the Cafe Britt coffee roasting plant was met with some of the most amazing smells of freshly roasted coffee. Their freshly picked coffee only has to travel a few hundred feet from their coffee plantation into their processing and roasting facility.

While I was in Costa Rica, it was great seeing coffee plants growing on almost every hillside, banana plantations, volcanoes, spiders that are almost as big as your head, exotic blue butterflies fluttering through, lizards everywhere, and colorful but poisonus frogs along with everything else that lives in the rainforest.
