    Hello Batana! Wow, Ulaanbatar is for sure 1 place I would like to visit. I have some customers here that work for a NGO and soent some time there back 2006. The photos from outside the city, on the steepes, are wonderful and colorful. How is the specialty coffee industry progressing there?

    Thanks Batana, fascinating. Do not despair, Indonesia is not that much further along the road of specialty coffee progress than Mongolia, and we are a coffee producer!!When you go to a cafe here fresh roast and ground (in the form of Kopi Tubruk...like a tall turkish coffee) is half the price of a cup of Nescafe... the locals still would prefer to go for instant Nescafe! The bigger cities like Jakarta are different and advancing quickly. Good luck to you and I hope to meet you one day and visit your beautiful country.
