Guatemala

I've been contemplating another trip soon and Guatemala keeps coming to mind, despite the trouble I had last time and the events of the past year or two.

If you haven't been keeping up, you should read these stories. It's a sad situation.





Probably a bad time to go. Also a bad time to turn our backs on Guatemalan coffee farmers.

Legesse Sherefa

Just received a few new coffees: Natural Yirgacheffe, Burundi Kirimiro from the Mwurire washing station, Yemen Harazi, also the El Boton Natural, Colombia La Alondra, and more Kenya French Mission and Tanzania Peaberry.

While I was looking for info about the Nat Yirg, I googled the exporter's name and found this story: http://www.ethiopianreview.com/articles/9426

Amazing what is happening in Ethiopia. Good coffees have been few and far between from there this year.
