Last week, she spent time with Roberto Salazar at his farm Finca Pashapa in La Labor, Honduras, and arrived in San Ramon, Nicaragua, earlier this week to visit with the farmers at Finca Esperanza Verde – whose coffee comprised last year's Cafe San Ramon.

Upon her arrival in Managua, Kim Elena sent us an update on her visit to a La Labor and shared with us her conversations with producers and exporters at the offices of the exporter, Beneficio Santa Rosa, in the mountainous city of Santa Rosa de Copan to taste coffee together and to strategize.

Read Kim Elena's full trip report from her travels in Honduras in our COFFEE ORIGINS section.
