Bob, those beans were hand picked by Juan Valdez cousin, Wino Valdez.

Now that is something I did not know. Jealousy is most likely the reason cousin Wino is less well known than Juan. While the Movie about J. Valdez does show his young son running thru the fields to bring lunch to His father, who had been picking the coffee beans since the first rays of sunlight and continued picking till the Sun goes down.Many among the millions of viewers of the Juan Valdez Story must have wondered about the fate of Juan's kid,who never got a chance to go to school. Yeah tho nothing is known of that kid's fate. It takes a fair amount of research to learn of Wino's Daughter,other than the fact that She was oddly named Pig a name given affectionately because of Her keen sense of smell. Her father Wino surely owes his great success to the fact that in His usual state of inebriation He brewed and sold those cherries as coffee. Wino Valez. the black sheep of the family Valdez with His Wife Sooey and daughter Pig exiled to Indonesia tho less well known than Juan Valdez fared rather well as sales of their Kopi Luwak coffee took off.
Thanks again Ole Smokey for the inspiration to research a little more deeply into the story of this coffee.
