I just read that a single coffee tree only produces about one pound of roasted beans a year
I found that out in a library book about global agriculture, and it makes my morning cup feel a lot more special (and expensive, honestly).

Ever wonder why good coffee costs so much? My buddy visited a farm in Guatemala and saw how much work goes into each plant. It's not just picking beans, it's a whole year of care for a single pound.

So mark_lane42, is that why my cheap stuff tastes like dirt?

Yeah the_thomas, that explains a lot about cheap coffee lmao. Makes you really respect the work behind a good cup.
