    Good on ya, enjoy the trip. Dont buy any of the roasted coffee they sell- often (believe it or not) its arabica blended with robusta! Crazy on the surface coming from a seemingly reputable plantation, but in reality I think the local roaster may be fiddling things a bit.

    No worries Tristram, let me know (well in advance if possible ;p) and I can put something together for you to make sure you get off the beaten track and see some really worthwhile small holder lots. My advice would be OK see the Govt owned estates, they have historical value, but they are not where the quality arabica is being produced.

    It was extraordinary. People were much more open this time, too - perhaps because I knew a little more, and also probably because I was young & by myself.

    Rather less impressed by St Ali/Sensory (but did have cold drip there). Doesn't seem like such a happy place. Seven Seeds was even better than I remember. Missed weekly cupping with Mark by ten minutes, though. Coffee Supreme were super-generous. Proud Mary excellent, as usual. But Market Lane is definitely the space to watch.

    A lot of interesting, if a little sick-in-the-stomach-feeling-making Slayer-talk, too.

    And I have detailed notes on every place I visited (eight in all), every coffee I tried (about two dozen), and every utterance of every single person I met. So you will have to come down to Shenkin in Erskineville and we will discuss over a nice, warm, Cyncre-prepared cup of WHO THE HELL IS HENRY BRINK????? (Black? of crave coffee. yes I know - where? It's in Alexandria.)
