    Hi Byron,

    Welcome to Barista Exchange!

    I´m working in a non-profit venture to promote the consumption of specialty grade coffees and the barista profession. The first stage, involves a overland trip through the american coffee growing countries, and I´m planning to visit Dominican Republic.
    I would be very grateful if you could help me to plan the logistics for my trip.

    Best regards,
    Federico

    Hi Byron
    I am a coffee farmer in South Africa. To my knowledge acidity is a factor of soil and climate, and less cultivar. Most importantly its a factor of fruit development.

    Byron, I was just reading through some of my old discussions when I saw you had responded to one about visiting farms and had extended an invitation to your farm in DR. While it's probably too late for this year, I was hoping that I might take a flight to visit in the not so distant future.
