$1000 Donation to Rain Harvest Project at Escuela Balbina de Ortega, Guatemala
Thanks Sacramento for making our first Specialty Coffee Week so fantastic. We had over 40 events all over town with Cafes, Coffee Roasters, Restaurants and Breweries helping to celebrate. During our events at Chocolate Fish we collected donations and any fee for classes or profit from events became a donation to the Rain Harvest Project for the school closest to Finca La Merced in Guatemala.
We were fortunate to have our coffee producer and friend, Juan Louis Barrios here for the week. We kept him very busy with many activites including Head Judge for the Home Roasters competition with his coffee. He meet customers and drink an IPA made with Finca La Merced at Track 7 Brewery, Juan Louis also joined us to answer many questions at the Coffee Tasting Class and the Home Brewing Class, He presented a slide show and talk about his farm one eveing and was our special guest at the Coffee Inspired Pop up Dinner by Chef Mike Fagnoni of Hawks Restaurant here at our Folsm Blvd Location and finally he judged a Coffee Cocktail competition at Hook and Ladder.
