Great way to start a year is at origin! Puts it all in perspective. Seems like we were on the ground early this year and were able to select some top scoring Lots.  Niche producers are delivering a custom approach to an ever obsessing specialty market. Producers allowing roasters to select there coffees & futhermore select the process is emerging.  As well as recognising the importance of exclusivity and relationships to prevent the finca la fany fad.. where every roaster has the same coffee`s on their list. It was great to touch base with producers we made contact with last season and see them investing in their farms to further improve quality. These are the people we enjoy working with. Thank you to all our hosts on this trip your hospitality and coffee was truly appreciated.
