Coffee Roasting

As special reporters for TIE2015 and our project blog, we have visited Caffè Benitez in Teramo, about 30 km from where we live. Anna and Viviana, our hosts, and their assistants and husbands showed us their coffee shop and roasting lab.

We saw the different blends and could touch the green beans coming from various countries all over the world.

Arabica or Robusta? We couldn't recognize them by looking only at the beans.

It was an exciting afternoon. 

We witnessed the operation of a roasting machine and could smell and taste the coffee beans.






No coffee for us: we're too young!  But we were offered chocolates! Great!
