We are back in Thailand and the heat- over 40'C some days. But it doesn't stop us from enjoying the food and the massages and seeing our friends again. It is great to be back.
Sook and Steves shop in ChiangMai has being doing well though it has slowed down a bit now that the hot season has kicked in. We are waiting for the rains to start so it will cool down a bit.
It is time to roast up another batch of coffee.
The coffee we roast is from Sooks village which is a Karen hilltribe village. Many of the Karen people are Catholics. In ChomThong where we live, the Catholic church is active in the coffee business. They are trying to improve the agricultural practises and to help teach people how to process the coffee once it is harvested.
We have started to establish a relationship with them. Today we took our dried beans to them and had the skins taken off. Now the beans are ready to roast.
Next step is to fire up the roasting machine. It'll be hot work!!

The coffee beans are being weighed in preparation for going into the machine that takes the dried skin off them.
