Harvesting

This video pulls back the curtain on what really goes into your morning cup of coffee, and it is far more fascinating than most people realize! The video follows Kenyan farmers hand-picking cherries on steep volcanic hillsides, shows the beans move through fermentation tanks, and expert roasters coax out flavors most of us never knew existed.

It contrasts mass-produced commodity coffee with the painstaking craftsmanship behind single-origin beans, shows why certain harvests sell for hundreds or even thousands of dollars per pound, and reveals how altitude, soil, and precise roasting can transform taste.

If you are curious about where your coffee comes from, or why some bags command such a premium, this is a beautifully filmed deep dive that turns a daily habit into a story worth savoring.

Processing

This segment takes you even deeper into the hidden life of specialty coffee, revealing how flavor, price, and ethics are intertwined long before beans ever reach a roaster.

You will see how processing methods, slow drying, and meticulous grading shape taste, and you will also confront a far more human story: many farmers still earn less than the cost of production even when their coffee sells for premium prices abroad. From Kenya’s hand-turned drying tables to global commodity markets that barely factor in quality, the film exposes an industry where incredible craftsmanship often meets unfair compensation.

At the same time, it highlights roasters and importers who are pushing for more transparency and more direct support for growers. If you care about where your coffee comes from, this is a compelling look at the real people and real economics behind every cup.
