    Hi Maria,

    I am going to be visiting El Salvador this next year (and Guatemala) and was wondering if you could direct me to some coffee farms that I should check out while there. I am interested in cupping at mutliple farms and trying microlots that I might be interested in importing.

    Thanks,
    Mark Barany
