I feel like this guy may have been holding a cup of coffee in his hand, when something tragic happened.

I'm looking through my pictures and reading through my journal to refresh myself of all that occurred on my trip to Guatemala. I'm prepared to share it all with you; even the stuff I don't want you to tell other people. The thing is, I can't just put all this stuff out here on the internet. And I don't want you to, either. Sure, I'll talk about some of it in the next couple podcasts. And I'll blog about some of my results in Guatemala. But the real nitty-gritty of the trip will perhaps only be shared in it's entirety once. That's this coming Tuesday (2/26).
But there's a catch.

The Coffee Illuminati has really stood behind me on this venture and I feel a debt of gratitude for their support and their attention and concern for the quality of our coffee and for the quality of our moral convictions. I don't feel right doing business with an industry that is unjust, when there's a possibility that I could do something to make a difference.

So I've already sent an invitation to the members of Coffee Illuminati to join me and hear the tales of my trip. And if YOU want to come, all you have to do is make yourself a member of the group. You can sign up online or talk to one of us in person at the DoubleShot. The minimum membership is $1 and the benefits are an increase in access to information that will stimulate your coffee knowledge.

I'm excited about coffee right now. I'm excited about the possibilities ahead of us and the direction we're headed here at DoubleShot Coffee Company. I hope you are too.
