Que agradable noticia saber que estas trabajando por poner el nombre de Guatemala en alto, especialmente el cafe que es un producto que tenemos mucho mejor que USA. Pues solo me queda ponerme a las ordenes, tengo mucho camino por recorrer en el mundo del cafe.

Seguimos platicando y espero poder conocerte en persona pronto. Esta semana abro un cafecito, a ver si lo conoces cuando vengas a Guate. Saludos y conta conmigo en lo que se pueda.
