Nigeria Update

We are delighted to share some updates with you on Bala’s coffee field. So far, two individuals heard about Bala’s story through One Village Coffee and have donated the funds necessary to build a well in Nigeria. The well was built in early 2008. Here are some pictures that show the progress from last December when Steve visited with Bala. The first picture was taken in April and the second picture was taken in May.

We are excited about what is happening the region! Learn more about the other organizations in which we support in the “Helping People” section of our website.

    Dear Steve and Scott Hackman,
    This remains a great support to make our coffee farm to grow much better before the rains. A support that made our farming becoming a reality. We believe that it was a well of life for the farm and a true encouragement to several other village people around.My dream as a farmer is that we have a vision to use the proceeds to help several others in need of help in different areas(poverty alleviation, education for destitutes,and schoolarships to train in skill aquisition)
    Thanks for making the difference. Bala,Nigeria

El Salvador Cup of Excellence (1lb) / $13.50

Cup of Excellence is a program that works to bring together the best coffee to the consumer while bringing profit to the growers. This years #1 coffee went for over $20 a pound, and that’s before roasting! What happens is the growers select the best field or crop of coffee and bring it to the auction cupping in the Host country. This year’s cup of excellence auction was for El Salvador. We were able to sample 24 lots of amazing coffees and picked out what we perceived to be the best lot so that we could bring this exceptional coffee to you. It is amazingly fruity in the cup with bright lemony flavors, but also a subtle mango flavor as well.  It was very rich and very smooth, with a bit of a roasted almond flavor.  You won’t want to miss this, as it is a limited offering.  When it is gone, it is gone.  Enjoy!
