Steve’s Nigeria Trip - Day 6

We left Otampa at 6 am by car. We then took an hour plane ride and hopped back in the car for another 4 hours before arriving to our destination.

We are now in Jos staying at a guest house. We have to share bathrooms, but have a well equipped kitchen complete with coffee from far east Nigeria. We roasted and perked the coffee, which was average.

Tomorrow we will giving a local organization 6 laptops for them to use. We have 3 days here to see Bala’s farm that he has named “One Village Coffee” and to see the affects of the well recently drilled. We will be attending a local graduation and checking out the village that needs a larger facility.

Thank you,

Steve
Jos, Nigeria

Featured Coffee

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!
