    Harvest

    "Sunrise pick with the team. Cherry selection, ripeness, what separates great from good."

    Three hours on the slope at first light, picking with the harvest crew and learning what they look for.

    About This Tour

    The harvest starts at first light, before the sun warms the slope.

    You join the team with a basket. The farmer walks you down the first row, showing you what red looks like — and what 'almost' looks like.

    By the second hour your hands are working faster. Your eyes are sharper. You start to see the difference.

    By the time the sun is high, you've picked enough to fill a basket and earned the breakfast waiting back at the house.

    Not a 15-minute photo pick. Real work, real hours.

    You harvest beans that you will then process and roast.
