Hey guys, I guess you haven't heard from me before or know a lot about me, I'm not a barista but a coffee grower and promotor from Guatemala. I had been in this business since I was 18 or so. My family has been in the coffee business for more than 2 generations and I guess the passion goes generation after generation. I had always wanted to share the passion and art of coffee, not as a beverage ONLY but as our culture. We grow in the culture of coffee since we are kids, no wonder why 70% of the population one way or another are involved. Please bear with my english if I messed up.
As I have shared with some of you guys before, I represent several plantations in Antigua and we are trying to get more regions involved. That is why I founded Kafes Guatemala in the United States, to simply represent the best coffees from my country and believe me it has been rough, between the coffee crisis and hurricanes, unless you love the business and YOU ARE NOT HERE for money you will stick around, and honestly it is not easy. I respect the fact that you guys create art with your hands and I love the fact that you love to work only with the best coffees and make awesome expresso beverages. NOT like the big coffee shop chains and their weird names. I'm glad is out of my chest hahahahaha.Anyway...........focusing on my topic. We are ready to provide coffee tours at affordable prices, and actually live the REAL EXPERIENCE, many of you guys contacted me regarding this before and as I share with you one of the plantations I represent and work with, has their own hotel, actually a really fancy one, but yet I wasn't able to understand why you were not interested, until I got it............................pricy hotel in a plantation is not the real experience. It will be if I go to a wine plantation in CA and perhaps stayed in a Marriot hotel right? I want to thank you, for the soooooo many advises you gave me and that helped me to understand your perspective, what is it that an American is looking as a coffee REAL experience.Now we are ready to offer you to stay in a house in Antigua coffee region, a real town house that can hold up to 12 people with all the included services in a really nice and safe area at really affordable prices indeed. You will eat the real Guatemalan food, cook by a real guatemalan cook (not profesionally) , interact with Guatemalans and if you want even practice your ESPAÑOL, you will visit the plantations, learn about the entire harvesting process, you can do the coffee tour even riding a horse, we have zipline tours in the plantation as well all the way from 200 to 720 feet (6 rides all together). Also tour Antigua and simply enjoy living as if you were from Guatemala. That means you better like beans and tortillas. Also we would like you to visit the educational and nutritional program for children that we support as Kafes Guatemala, YES! I believe as a Guatemalan I need to support and help my country change and get better. For more specific information please contact us at www.kafesguatemala.com or simply contact me at my page.muchas gracias.Pablo
