View from the mountain.

You walk through these shops on your way around the crater.

They sold all kinds of food, crafts and clothing.

Some of the paths we walked up the mountain on.

More steep paths!

So here are some photos from the volcano that don’t include the crater.

The volcano crater we visited. Lots of poisonous gas and smelled strongly of sulphur and was very interesting to see.

Tea plantation.

Unloading the picked leaves.

Leaves drying out in enormous room in special trays about 20m long.

The rest of the drying room.

Packaged processed tea leaves. Some of these go to Twinings, apparently.

The finished tea storage room.

Our visit to the tea plantation and processing plant. They only process black tea here, so we only got to see the one process, but it was pretty awesome. We were also given samples of tea at the end to take home.

The roaster

A huge store room where the coffee beans are aged before roasting. We were allowed to walk up the mountain of coffee :-)

We were lucky and were in time to see the roaster emptied. The heat coming off it was amazing!

After the roaster is emptied into the tray, two guys rake the beans back and forth to help them cool quickly and evenly.

Old Dutch bikes that belonged to the owner's father (or maybe grandfather?) during the colonial period.

Barrels of roasted coffee beans.

More beans!

At a coffee processing business that has been running since the early 1900s and still uses pretty much all the same equipment. The place smelled intensely of coffee and there was coffee bean grit flying all over the workshop - I found plenty in my hair after we left :-)

takealookatyourlife:

“kill myself” was the most common answer when they contemplated the possibility of life as a girl

Yeah, tell me again how misogyny “isn’t real” and men and boys actually “love”, “like” and “respect the female sex”? This is how deep misogynistic propaganda runs in this world. Men and boys are so viscerally contemptuous of anything or anyone who/that is female or feminine, or perceived to be female or feminine, that they would rather commit suicide than to be associated with— or become a member of— the female sex. As Germaine Greer said, “women have no idea how much men hate them.”
