From February 18th to the 28th I will be off to Costa Rica and Panama to continue our never ending search for great coffee. These are two growing countries that we have purchased in the past but have never become consistent offerings at Barefoot. One of the purposes of this trip is to get introduced to the esoteric side of coffee production in those two amazing origins. To familiarize us with the way they grow, harvest and process coffee and to meet producers. My goal is also to hunt down and find some stellar microlots of coffee representing 3 different lots and farms with the goal to set up ongoing relationships in this region. Wish me Godspeed and good luck and pray that the Gods of great coffee our in love with us as much as we are in love with them!
Keep representing in the amazing way that you are the hard work and dedication of the producers and there families, importers, exporters, mills, green hunters, roasters, and of course yourselves, the last link in the coffee chain of hands! (as well as keepin on rockin in the free world!)
