30 Mar Cuzcachapa 2015
Visiting Cooperativa Cuzcachapa in El Salvador was a special pleasure for our team.
Here we sampled some of the coffees that will be arriving in our shops sometime this spring, and experienced the excellence of coffee production as practiced by some of the most attentive and experienced farmers in Central America.
