A torrent of 65mph+ wind storms hit El Salvador and have done extensive damage to the entire region. Regretfully, 2007 COE winners were hit the hardest with crop losses above 60% and extreme foliage damage (foliage affects the next year’s crop). Our La Montana supplier, Raul Ochoa, experienced a 90% loss of crop. To help aid relief efforts Coffee Klatch Roasting will be donating $5 for every bag purchased of our  El Salvadorian COE #1 La Montana.

We now have pictures of the damages to the La Montana ranch and video of Mr. Ochoa explaining what happened, please click

Recently I was fortunate enough to travel to Colombia as part of the Las Mingas project where we found the beautiful Frutas de Popayan.

Colombian coffee has long been a simple process whereby the buyer simply approves or rejects coffee by the container.
