Meet The Farmers

Quality coffee begins at the farm. The hard work that is done there is essential to the quality we - as a roaster - want to bring to our customers. In the days prior to the WBC we will get a visit from two of the farms we work with. Both have offered to come and give a talk about their farms. This will be a great chance to meet some of the people behind some incredible coffees and hear about the work they do.


June 17th *Sold Out*
19.00 - 21.00
Finca Vista Hermosa
Edwin Martinez


Edwin is the third generation on the Finca Vista Hermosa farm in the highland Huehuetenango region in north-west Guatemala. His granddad Don Felipe bought a coffee lot called Michicoy back in the 60's and in 1970 he bought his second parcel, Finca Vista Hermosa, where the wet milling is done. Edwin is a certified Q Grader and will represent United States in the Cup Tasting Championship this year.



June 18th *Sold Out*
19.00 - 21.00
Daterra
Isabela Pascoal & Andreza Elaine Marzarao


Daterra is located in Brazil's Cerrado region and has become legendary
in the specialty coffee world for their innovative and scientific approach to coffee.
Research in varieties specifically for espresso, the state of the art Penta Sorting system and special vacuum packing are just some of the things that have established the farm's excellent reputation. Isabela and Andreza will also be talking about their sustainability programme.



Attendance is limited to 20 people per event. Price is DKK 100,- per person which includes a 250 g. bag of coffee from the farm.
