I'm sitting here on a Sunday morning, enjoying the relaxation and the sunshine and a presspot of La Minita.
For all the DoubleShot customers who ONLY buy La Minita, I have two things to say. First, you're missing out on some great coffees. Second, you're on to something.
Damn this is good coffee.
A long, long time ago, when I first started home roasting (probably 10 years ago), La Minita was one of the coffees in the varietals I ordered. It was one of my favorites then, and it's one of my favorites today.
A year ago, when I was in Costa Rica, I took some video with my little digital camera. I've finally put some of it together and put it on youtube because it was too big to efficiently fit on the Propaganda page. But there is a link to it on the Propaganda page. I didn't do a very good job of shooting the video or putting it together. But hopefully you'll watch it and see a little bit of what the farm looks like, what the people do, and how the coffee is grown and harvested.
La Minita has been generous enough to invite me down to visit twice since we opened and it has really changed my life and perspective on coffee.
