El Salvador COE

The penultimate auction of this season, and there was more fun to be had. Very happy with the coffee we have secured in a group grown by Juan José Ernesto Menéndez Arguello from Finca Alaska. On the cupping table it shone above everything else. I took a few photos today (not sure why but I’ve got a new camera you know) take a look at this link

I’ve said so much about these auctions of late I’m sure you are getting bored of it all, me I love it a chance to get some exceptional coffees I’d have an auction every week but it will be good to have a week off.

Tomorrow I’m going a to cinema screening of the film Black Gold. I’ve seen the film on DVD but not on the big screen so should be fun. There is also a question and answer session afterwards by the makers, I’m never one to miss an opportunity or shy away from debate. I’ll fill you in on what happens and try and get some pictures too.
