Good Day Coffee Friends
This week, the coffee industry will be rocking at the SCAA Convention in Anaheim. Meanwhile, if you need to roast some more bags, take a look at our inventory and contact us.
We have some new origins which might reach your interest. We also have the Ipanema NIMA 22 lb green coffee Boxes arriving to Miami within the month and the Nucoffee “Micro lots” arriving today at the Annex in Oakland.
Don’t forget to take a look at our Exclusive Hawaii – Kona Parry Estate coffees. These are the only Rain Forest Alliance certified coffees from that origin. They are moving rapidly out of the Annex.
For those of you who like to blend sport with work, Wolthers America is promoting the Surfers in Coffee – Brazil Tour, July 01 – 10/2010. This is an Alternative professional Travel experience that educates, entertains, amuses and builds international commercial relationships.
