Great news for me this week. I’ve been able to confirm my trip to Guatemala in January. This time the trip isn’t for cup of excellence but for me to go and visit some of the farms we have bought from and plan to buy from next year. Also it’s a chance for me to expand my coffee knowledge with trips to farms and to mills to see from seed to cup. Of particular excitement to me is the chance to go and see coffee farms during harvest time.

I hope to bring back lots of pictures, lots of storeys and lots of great coffee. Got to say thank you to Mrs Has Bean who is letting me go off on this expedition, who will be holding the fort while I’m away, she puts up with a lot bless her.

There will be more about this as it gets closer, in fact you may have to tell me to shut up
