I understand how working with less than ideal coffee can be challenging. I'm sure that the expectations in a culture that has not developed a strong desire for espresso can be dually frustrating. I talked to some adventure outfitters in the visitor's plaza that said that most people don't make much in wages and, as a result, have less motivation to really invest in their work. I would really love to come down if you ever have one of those barista events again. I am willing to pay my own way and spend some time investing into local baristas; all i'd want in return is a chance to tour some farms and get a better view of the early stages of coffee. keep me posted if anything ever comes up again.
