Two weeks ago, I returned from another awesome visit to Ethiopia. It’s my 4th year visiting during the buying season, and I always look forward to going. Ethiopians are some of the kindest and warmest people on the planet, and I’ve made some good friends there.

The region of Santa Barbara in Honduras has something quite special. A combination of soil, weather and coffee varietals make the coffees in this area some of the most exotic and interesting coffees in the world. This harvest will mark the 4th season since we started working with the producers in Santa Barbara.
