Two weeks ago I went on a field visit to a few places I had never been before. It took us a long ride over some bad roads, loads of dust, and a long walk, but we were rewarded by a visit to a beautiful, remote area. And some coffee farmers who were both surprised that we came all the way out there, as well as delighted by our visit. Though that trip took us to a dry region which hasn't had much rain yet, lots of other places have seen quite a bit more rain than previous years. As a result the flowering that started a couple of months ago has resulted in trees full of developing cherries, and the crop for the coming season looks really promising at the moment. At our buying station we still have one month ahead of receiving coffee of this year's crop. After that it is time for a well-deserved break for the whole team.

AuthorI wouldn't be surprised to find out I was born with a passion for coffee. For the life of me, I can't remember not loving coffee. And by that, I don't just mean drinking it, but everything involved from its cultivation over the processing to the final product that is my loyal companion throughout the day. Archives
