Colombia

Jason and I are going to Colombia.  We fly out of here on December 1.  We'll arrive in Medellin that evening and meet up the next day with Drew from Hacienda La Minita.  He'll take us to Jardin, where La Minita has built a new mill to process coffee.  It's the grand opening of the new mill and they've invited us down to see it.  We'll stay in Jardin until Friday, when we'll return to Medellin and meet up with a girl named Cristina Garces.  I found Cristina a while back when looking for people who could help me source and buy coffee more directly.  Her family owns an estate called Montes y Colinas near the town of La Concordia- not far from Medellin.  Cristina's boyfriend owns a farm close to Jardin, so we'll see his farm too.  We'll be there until the 10th, and hopefully we'll get a chance to taste a lot of great coffees.  And then bring them back to you.

We plan to have some adventures down there and to take a lot of pictures.  And I want to share our experiences with you guys.  So I'm going to schedule a time to get together and see pictures and hear stories of this latest coffee foray.  

Thursday, December 18 at 7p.  

Put it on your calendar.  I know it's a week before Christmas, but take a couple hours to come drink coffee and relax.
