Friday's Blog on Tuesday?

So my day 5 of Guatemalan CoE blog didnt happen...thats because Thursday night Pocaya erupted, black ash fell in Guatemala City and the internet at the Hotel was no more.

Friday we awoke to black ash on the ground throughout the city, and the realisation the airport would be closed for our flights out on Sunday.

...but the cupping of the top 10 scoring coffees still went ahead.
An outstanding 10 coffees to judge and award their final scores for ranking...you will have to wait for the official results out from CoE.

What an honour to be there for the official awards night...to see the reaction of the coffee producers gaining Cup of Excellence awards was a real privilege.
