Guatemala trip 2010

As part of our Direct Trade programme Casper is off to Guatemala, more specifically to the Huehuetenango region, to visit Finca Vista Hermosa with Edwin Martinez.

Huehuetenango is a city in the North West of Guatemala, but is also the name of one of the 8 coffee growing regions in Guatemala, marketed by the Guatamalan specialty coffee association Anacafe as Highland Huehue.

We visit each of our Direct Trade producers at least once a year, every year. This is our third visit to Finca Vista Hermosa and until Casper returns and write about his trip (there is no internet connection at the farm) you can read about the previous two trips here:

Linus' visit in 2009:
Part 1
Part 2

Klaus' visit in 2008:

Part 2
Part 3

You can also take a look at Finca Vista Hermosa's website to learn more about this outstanding farm.

More coffee beer

A few weeks ago we drank about 30 litres of a certain Coffee Stout brewed with our Kiawamururu, Kenya AA Top, to celebrate our two year anniversary. It was brewed by guest-brewmaster Sean at Nørrebro Bryghus, and it was delightful.

Now there's a new coffee beer! Danish wünderkind Mikkel Borg Bjergsø of Mikkeller, who just might be the most respected microbrewer in Denmark, brewed a limited batch of his Beer Hop Breakfast - an Oatmeal stout - with our light roasted Idido, Aricha microlot #2.

MIkkeller Beer Hop Breakfast 2

We haven't tasted it yet, but Mikkel just brought in a case for us to sample. I'm pretty sure we'll open it up tomorrow and have a few before we send Casper off to Guatemala.

Idido Limited Roast

As with the Esmeralda, we're also only roasting the light Idido on demand at the moment to keep it fresh.

We'll be roasting up a batch tomorrow, so place your orders on the webshop before noon tomorrow to get it sent out straight from the roaster. Webshop orders are sent out every Tuesday afternoon.
