Hi Maria,

I am going to be visiting El Salvador this next year (and Guatemala) and was wondering if you could direct me to some coffee farms that I should check out while there. I am interested in cupping at mutliple farms and trying microlots that I might be interested in importing.

Thanks,
Mark Barany

Hey Maria, I had the pleasure of tasting some nice coffees from El Salvador last night. Impressive. Heard a bit about El Salvador and it's history too. V interesting. Def. on my list of places to visit!

Cant wait to get to El Salvador!!

Hola Maria! Thanks for the nore. I am planning on coming back to El Salvador in early April to visit the roasters who participated in the course, and to see what they have adapted in their businesses from our work together. I have already gotten several emails from roasters who have created special blends from the work we did together! Give my best to everyone at the Consejo, and get the beer good and cold and the seafood hot!
