My Spanish in No Bueno!
Not sure how things are in Minnesota, I am stuck in Pagosa Springs, CO because of heavy snow and road closures. August is the best time to be in Minnesota. Will you be at SCAA?
Hello Pablo, Im not sure where my name is from. I saw Antigua on your locations. I spent a month in Antigua and on Lake Atitlan last year. I love it there!
Hey Pablo, I've had a fair bit of antigua - but I was talking to a roast master over here, and he was telling me about some amazing stuff he just got in that was priced really well too.. I can't remember what he called it.. but I'll find out. I'm gonna get my hands on some next week. Cheers,
Re: SCAA, meant the convention in Minneapolis. Oddly enough, I've got about two pounds of various Antigua green samples in my basement: Las Nubes, La Tacita, Filadelfia, San Sebastian, that we picked up at the SCAA in Charlotte in 2006. I'd forgotten about them until we bought a Behmor roaster in November. So we started roasting some of the samples for our own use... and despite the age and lack of proper storage, the coffees are still pretty tasty.
We retail Intelly primarily, so we've had their El Cuervo (Huehuetenango) when it's been available. We're not looking to add right now, but if you're going to be at SCAA we'd love to meet you and sample some.
Hi Pablo- thanks for the comment! Gourmet Source does not sell beans, only coffee house related products....things that go into the final product. I will talk to the owner of our company and see if he is interested in representing a line of coffee. It would be great.
Hope all is well with you! Take care-
I had just enough of a break from judging to head to Antigua and Finca Belle Vista....
Love to come out to see you one day too and maybe bring some people for educational purposes....lets keep talking!

I like your company mission.
We have both been in the industry a long time!
I THOUGHT THAT YOU MAY SPEAK ITALIAN.
BUT YOU DID UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING.
