Tell us more about your coffee shop or barista skills.
I've been in charge of setting up the El Salvador School of Coffee, we have developed Cupping, Roasting and Barista courses. I can offer to help baristas from all over the world to learn more about coffee origin, while having an integral approach to this wonderful country, our goal is being able to connect baristas with interested local coffee shops here... we believe that we can set up a program for this community that allow baristas to learn while teach and share what they know...baristas would gain knowledge in origin related things such as growing and processing... cupping/roasting and share their techniques with local fellow baristas
What cities or countries are you interested in traveling to?
