We are almost ready.
Tomorrow marks the launch of our most favorite coffee of the year. It will be roasted, bagged and shipped and we’ll never see it again. We spent the day getting ready to say hello and goodbye by designing a fun label for it and cutting open the vacuum sealed storage bags. The aroma is just [...]

Honduras. Day 2.
Day 2 found us early and we began our trip heading away from San Pedro Sula. I was excited to get out of the city. I found myself uncomfortable there and wanted to get closer to a mountain, a forest or anything that isn’t covered in concrete. We picked up Jauquin and headed to meet [...]
Honduras: Day 1.
Ive been in Honduras for almost a day now, and there are some things to get used to. I want to say that its been a mind blowing experience of a different culture that seems so foreign to me that I feel like an alien on another planet. Thats what the travel shows would say. [...]
