Origin Trip to Santa Maria de Jesus, Guatemala
 | | Some of the group with the origin tour and the coffee harvest we picked at Juan's farm. |
One of the ways Deeper Roots Development (the organization that helps us get our wonderful La Armonia Hermosa coffee) tries to develop the relationship between the farmers, producers, roasters, and consumers is offer Origin tours to Santa Maria de Jesus, Guatemala. This year we had a great group of people from Tazza Mia and Speckled Bird Cafe in Cincinnati, OH and Greyhouse Coffee in Lafayette, IN. The week long trip to Guatemala was full of great experiences and relationships. We not only were able to visit a half a dozen different farms in the Santa Maria Association, but we were able to see and help with the experience all the way from picking to roasting.
