$10 Cup for Carlos
Thursday, May 8, 2008
Earlier this year, tragedy struck the famed Guatemalan coffee farm
Finca Vista Hermosa
(FVH) as the farm manager, Carlos Martin, and his son, Edwin, were robbed and murdered whilst returning to the farm with money and supplies.Carlos leaves behind a widow, Juana, and 11 children.
Edwin Martinez of FVH was kind enough to send us a sample of his coffee early this year. We have a small amount left over and will be offering it this Saturday as a brewed coffee for $10 a cup at First Pour. All proceeds will go to Juana.
The excellent articles on coffeegeek.com and the FVH blog contain a link to donate via paypal. Alternatively, we would be happy to forward any donations left with the barista at First Pour.
